Carricitos: A Hidden Treasure

Just 30 minutes walking from Sayulita’s town center, Playa Carricitos is a secret gem: wide, quiet and surrounded by untouched nature. You won’t find restaurants, vendors, or umbrellas—just open sea, lush greenery, rocks, and the sound of the waves.

Although the path is steep and unmarked, the reward is worth it: perfect for watching the sunset, reading in solitude, or simply listening to the ocean.

A virgin beach for those seeking total disconnection

  • Playa Patzcuarito: even more virgin, perfect for silence and solitude

What to know before going:
