Cross the river that runs through town, separating north from south, and hike the long, clean, uncrowded north side beach. Here, turtles swim ashore to lay clutches of eggs, frigates and pelicans swoop, and untouched waves crash on shifting shores of gold. The crowd runs from the hippie campers at one end to the posh precincts of private beachfront palaces at the other. Find a spot in between, pop an umbrella, and relax on Sayulita’s most spacious stretch of sand.
