Who Sayulita suits
Surfers, artists and vacation-rental owners
Sayulita is for buyers who want the smell of salt and the sound of live music within barefoot distance. Its cobblestoned core stays walkable,the surf beach is steps away and the town's creativity shows up in its walls, its shops and its calendar of festivals.
It also has one of the strongest short-term rental stories on the coast,which makes it a favorite for investment buyers,as long as they love the bohemian pace when they visit.
