Isn’t the sayulita sewage treatment plant like a block from the ocean? That was my memory and it didn’t work well then. Essentially dumped finless brown trout in the ocean. Had to step over the river to walk the beach.

had some good memories there, San blas, orange beach, punta de Mita over three weeks around Mexican Independence Day ~20 years ago. El Tigre took us for free on an adventure through a a jungle, creek, fields after fields to over head surf but was certain we’d die. We didn’t. Pizza in San blas with $0.50 Modelos and a pfish cover jam band.

glad I had a longboard, fish and thruster. Didn’t use the thruster.

I took the drive from Sayulita to San Blas; cool down but surf was flat at the time but bugs weren't bad.

Sayulita is an unfortunate result of poor planning and over tourism sadly. Water and surf is better in Punta De Mita but most of the coastline is just privatized gated resorts. Michoacan and Colima may be more dangerous and rustic, but the less exploitative tourism and less over crowding is a draw for me.

Not related to Michoacán, but a sad story of the dangers of Mexican travel. It looks like 3 camping surfers were murdered in Baja Norte on the west coast not too far from the border.

Well I booked the trip for 2 weeks late Nov into early Dec.

Likely spend a night or two in Cuyutlán then head to La Ticla for most of the trip.
