Sayulita Mexico, Puerto Vallarta

We went to Sayulita Mexico for our honeymoon. It is a small surfer town that not too many people know about. It was great because everything was very authentic and no tourists. The city is absolutely beautiful. We were there for a week. During the week we went hiking, surfing, boogie boarding, and snorkeling. It was a lot of fun, we went back for a second time to visit a year later.


This was along side the beach that we went to everyday. The land is gorgeous.


Our flight landed in Puerto Vallarta and so we took a two hour bus ride to Sayulita. It dropped us off at the town square that was about a mile away from the house that we were going to stay at. They don't really drive cars in the town cause it's so small. So, we got a map where we were and started hiking. The house we had to hike to was up this huge hill. I didn't exactly pack light either. It was miserably fun!

So on the map, it had a picture of where we needed to go in order to get to the house. It showed where we got off the bus, it had a bridge to cross, restuarants to pass, and then there was a random rock we had to pass. This is the rock in the picture. It was the weirdest thing. We just started to laugh. I think it was a map designed for little kids. Thank goodness for that rock or else we probably wouldn't have gotten there.

Swordfish is a popular fish in Puerto Vallarta. The natives would go out fishing all day for them. This day paid off for these guys.
We went on a boat that took us snorkeling to a popular spot. We got to see lots of fish, and I nearly drowned. It was great. While we were on the boat, we saw a whale breach, sea lions and dolphins swim. We really got to see another side of Puerto Vallarta.

The sunsets on the beach were like this everynight! It was never crowded either.

Baxter and I went surfing a day while we were there. He got to be really good at it. I married a surfer dude!

This was the happening place. This was the town square which was where the restuarants, shops, and entertainment took place. A lot of partying at night went on.
