About the Wave

San Pancho is a surf town, 10 minutes further from Sayulita. Good food and cold beer with a chill vibes town. Great beach break with left and right hand waves. Works good with North swells and in high to mid tide.

The mellow, artsy neighbor to Sayulita. Open beach break with a-frames going both ways. Charming town for post-surf tacos, sunset drinks and a slower pace. Great for intermediate surfers wanting to escape the Sayulita crowds.
