It's worth walking to this beach; it's quiet, though the surf isn't always calm. You can order food from a nearby restaurant and they'll deliver it to you.

Truly unforgettable... I love Sayulita! But Plata de los Muertos is the beautiful Sayulita die.

DO NOT SWIM I SAYULITA. Jesus christ it was dirty. I hadn't been in a couple of years and everyone always talks about how dirty the Sayulita ocean is, but wow exceeded all expectations! We even went to Los muertos hoping it was cleaner, but God no. Yellow bubbles of SOMETHING, weird greasy feeling, lots of floating literal garbage, a big ol dead fish floating by. My skin itched until I got home and my eye felt slightly infected all night. Thankfully I managed to scrub all that stuff off.

For me, this is one of the best places in Sayulita. Remember to enter respectfully, as the main entrance is through a cemetery. The food is good, and they rent a table with four chairs and an umbrella for $400, but it's worth it. It's very safe, and police patrol the area occasionally. There's an active lifeguard, and the water isn't very deep until about 15 meters out to sea. I recommend bringing water, as the sun is very intense.
