I happened upon the excellent video (below), and it reminded me of my experience at Devil’s Church (just south of Yachats) this past Thanksgiving.

Ocean dining

Literally located on the ocean, this is the ultimate dining experience. No need for artificial background music when the waves provide all the sound one could want.

San Francisco (AKA San Pancho) Mexico sunset

Today’s photo comes from our dinner location a few nights ago in a town just north of where we are staying in Sayulita. Apparently San Pancho is known for its jaguar population, but we didn’t see any during our brief stay.

Sayulita surfing

Sayulita is well known for surfing, especially for novice surfers. The waves can get kind of crowded with beginning surfers this time of year.

If you plan to surf Sayulita, don’t bother booking one of the $45 lessons online in advance. For 400 pesos (< US$23) you can get a lesson, rashguard shirt, and surfboard for the rest of the day if you just hit the locals up on the beach. We did this on one of the busiest days of the year, too, so it isn't like they will be gone if you don't make a prior reservation.
