| It is advisable to bring your own snorkeling equipment to Sayulita Mexico, however limited rentals are available at local shops. In addition to great snorkeling offered by a boat trip with one of the local Mexican boat captains (see Fishing or click on the banner above) there are also three snorkel locations within walking distance from Sayulita.
Punta Los Arcos:
Follow the road around the bay to the front of hotel Villa Amor. Between the hotel entrance and the road to the cemetery are plenty of entry points to wade/swim out and explore the rocks and aquatic life just beneath the surface.
Playa de Los Muertos
Continue past the cemetery on to Playa de Los Muertos, which is very popular with Mexican families and a safe swimming beach. Huge rocks protect it on both sides. Las Cargadas is the tiny beach past the rocks to the south. From the beach look to the south and you will see three or four rock islands. All of these provide for great Sayulita snorkel adventures.
Carrizitos:
Starting at the cemetery, its your second right turn. Through town, follow Niños Heroes until it enters the jungle and make the first left turn. This is an uphill 40-minute walk. If the waves are calm enough, the point on the south end of the beach offers chances to see much larger fish than in the Sayulita bay.
