Absolutely loved renting boards with these guys. I was worried traveling down to Sayulita/Punta Mita without bringing boards that I might be stuck renting some older, lesser boards, but I was immediately relieved to step in to Quiverito and see all the great boards they had to offer. So many sick options, tons of quality logs, midlenth options and rode a couple of the most fun twin fin boards I've ever been on. Tons of beautiful boards and loved that they had so many retro/alternative shapes on top of the more higher performance options. Cannot recommend renting with these guys enough. Tons of local knowledge of different spots as well. Always knew where to go based on swell and tide and always had the perfect board for the scenario thanks to these guys. Omar helped me out a ton, super awesome dude!!

It is so wonderful to walk along a path lined by palm trees and other foliage that offer a bit of shade on a hot day. Playa Las Cuevas connects with Playa Malpaso and in a lower tide it is easy to go around the sand by the rock bluff to get to Malpaso and then hike the length of that beautiful beach.

Mercado del Pueblo is the only Farmer's Market in Nayarit and the first in the Bahia de Banderas. We feature local, organic and natural consumable goods from the region. Recently, local artisans were also added. Every Friday, during the growing season from November-April,come enjoy the products of the area from vegetables and fruits to medicinal products and prepared artisan foods and handmade jewelry. Live music every Friday and street performers make it fun for all! All proceeds from the market go directly to support local projects like water and river clean up, providing biodegradable and natural cleaning supplies to the town and supporting our local children's parks and schools.

We came here every morning with our 7 year old to check out tide pools, throw the football, and build sand castles. It was a great quiet beach with beautiful views. I’d highly recommend getting off the beaten path if you’re in sayulita.

Sayulita, the town and the beach, is yet another experience I won't forget soon. It's crowded, noisy, full of street vendors, too many tourists, surfers, beach goers, dogs, dogs, dogs (in a good way), traffic bumper to bumper, just an amazing place to sit down and watch it all happen. From all the steamers and colour banners flying above the cobblestone roads, to the hot mexican watermelon candy, to the endless parade of gringos to and from the beach, to the piles of garbage in the streets, it's in the middle of nowhere yet clearly over-capacity town. For myself, nice to visit, but way too busy to consider staying there unless it was a seriously quiet hideaway from all the noise and mayhem on the streets. Lots of stores, restaurants, bakeries and such. The beach really was amazing and beautiful. The waves were huge but we did not go too far on the beach as it was clearly overcrowded. We found parking early on in the day, but later, don't count on it. Just bumper to bumper all through the town all day. Wow is all I can say.
