Hi Gabriel, I'll be honest with you: Those towns seem perfect for relaxing and a real escape from the beach resort towns. You're looking for something in between and that's Sayulita for you that's where you feel most comfortable. You're no stranger to exploring your surroundings I get you want to know where to go and not waste a lot of time finding that perfect spot where you're not spinning in circles. Sort of what you do when you go to India it's like you're not a tourist anymore you're a native person who knows where he's going to stay and do without wasting a lot of energy. So in turn you enjoy the trip and stay.

With over 47,000 subscribers, I believe my audience would really enjoy your perspective and content. A matter of fact I have received a bunch of fan requests to reach out to you!

Let me know if you’d be interested! -I’d be thrilled to discuss ideas and make this happen. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hey there Joel, some of my viewers had recommended contacting you as well. I'm sure you could show me some of the best places in the area. I'm considering my plans right now but I might end up taking off tomorrow. If I decide to stick around a little longer I'll get in touch. ✌️😎🍺
@@GabrielTravelerVideos, I have been watching your videos since you just arrived this time in PV. I think you need to reach out to locals to find the special places. You really are not doing any justice to Rincon de Guayabitos, Lo de Marcos, Bucerias or Punta Mita. Your quick poke arounds don’t give a true flavor. Sayulita is one of the places that us locals avoid. I truly do not know what you are trying to do on this channel? It seems like a food critic giving an opinion after having one bite of a 8 course meal.
GABE! You skipped a real gem! La Cruz de Huancaxle, between Bucerias and Punta de Mita. It's a chill fishing village, marina, fish market, many splendid restaurants. Playa La Manzanilla has crystal clear water with virtually no waves. Great restaurant on the beach, siete mares. Great Sunday farmers market at the marina.
Hello Gabrielle. Mexico. Alright! Mexico looks worth a go. You sure know a few places already. The grub seems appetizing. Especially the Island meal with proper drink. Glad to see you chilling making great movies. Thank you. From Craig. GBR.
Imo Bucerias was nicer before covid. Didn't feel like it was anything special last time I visited, everything was just kinda alright. Okay sights, Okay beach and Okay restaurants etc
Stayed in Sayulita for a week or so - a while ago. It was 17$/nt for a good basic hotel room. The waves were crowded even then...! You are experiencing a set of LARGE NW Swells that are uncommon to reach Sayulita from the Gulf of Alaska. Summer is the bigger wave season.
I have stayed in Punta de Mita for a few yrs. You walked pass the beautiful place but you can't see it unless you go inside. You needed to turn left & keep on going down the beach past the rock piles. Then you will find a local restaurant on the best beach of all of them & my favourite; It's shallow and good for body surfing. You could have walked to the end of the street to get there as well...a bit grubbier but once you're there it's babulous. Another thing: on low tide you can walk miles to LaPlancha Surfers Beach and in front of mansions. Heck you can walk all the way to Bucerias. LaCrux de Huanaxle has the best market on Sundays mornings, crowded but good food.
Nice to see how easy it is to explore the coastline with all those little beach towns. Looks like a lot of fun! And yeah, when its long, wide and hot I usually rub it a couple of inches down. So great tip there.
The bus ride from PV to Sayulita is about $2.50 one way, that bus will also stop in Punta de Mita, you may want to consider a day trip t Las Palmas or Ixtapa (IS-TOP-A) or you may want to consider showing the Marian District of PV which hosts yachts from around the world and many resorts along with a nice boardwalk along the bay with many shops and restaurants and is very close to the airport.
I've taken the bus from PV to Sayulita several times and it doesn't stop at Punta Mita, that's out of the way. All the buses going to Punta Mita were turning around and going back to Bucerias and PV.
Mazatlán was my first town I visited as a teen with my buddies. Cannot believe we were 17 and went to Mazatlán on our own. Many years ago. Got me hooked on Mexico.
I know this sounds unlikely but you were on the wrong end of Bucerias Beach! The other end is very quiet as it is far away from centro (like in Suyulita). That's also where all the surf rental stuff and hippie vibe restaurants are (along with fancy too). I also love San Pancho and Suyulita-viva Mexico!
I love the mexican vibes! Thanks for sharing! As for the big waves there, I have been in Bequia & Tobago Keys in the Caribbean in the month of December, and the sea was not full of waves. It was actually very mellow. There is not much to see there, but the landscape and the sea are beautiful, also the food was great, but I was sailing so I don''t know how do you get there in other ways.
Have you ever gone swimming on the Atlantic coast of the US? I think it's underrated. They have waves, but it's not too big or forceful. Just the right size for having fun with. My favorite beaches are still my childhood beaches Ocean City Maryland and Virginia Beach. Because they both have long boardwalks.
Not sure, maybe Yelapa? ruclips.net/video/dwYzgGHO-Ls/видео.html Or do you mean further south, perhaps Zihuatanejo? ruclips.net/video/x-GoggVtWB4/видео.html
Greetings from Lake Tahoe. I see you were just in our neck of the woods. I recommend you do visit Mazatlan since you are so close. Check out the lighthouse if you go. Maybe consider stopping for a day or two at San Blas along the way. The area between Santa Cruz (Miramar) and San Blas is nice. There's a cool waterfall (El Cora) near Santa Cruz that makes a fun day trip, although it does take some planning to get there.
The original Mita townsite was uprooted for the 4seasons resort at the end of the road. Its a bit rough but still a nice place with good waves and better water than sayulita. The beaches are better east of where you were. Checkout La Lanche.
The place out of whole of Mexico wantrd to get to.Puerto Escondido!!!! .hurricane warnings lagoins closed 2 weeks no elec in my hostel..after long bus journey left next morning pd a lot for zero.... then my bag put off on Ada bus stop at wrong town!!!! Got it back after screaming crying in Spanish...lol next timemy bag will be miniature and go where I am...❤❤
I've been to the Yucatan tons of times and visited a lot of amazing cenotes, so it isn't high on my list to go back right now: ruclips.net/video/_11AqvArDbI/видео.html
Hi Eddie. I'm not getting it, my man. I just don't see the appeal. The beach doesn't look great, mainly because of so many tourists and chairs. I dig the Caribbean more. What do you think, vato?
I've mentioned places I'd like to go in some previous videos, but I forget which videos. Sometimes I will discuss the places I'm considering going next.
Size of the economy doesn't really matter, India is #5 and it's definitely third world. But Mexico isn't third world, I guess you could say second world although those terms are outdated.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos well size of the economy does not matter, but GDP per capita matters. And I think Mexico is on par with Turkey and even South Korea. I don't know I'd have to look it up again. But it's not so far down. Edit- lots of typos as usual. I don't know how nobody else never makes typos on here lol. Edit again- Mexico is on par with China, for GDP per capita.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos yes, the terms 3 rd and first world are outdated terms... in fact many are insulted by those terms... the term developing nation is the proper terminology these days... nice mexican beach videos thanks!!!! peace out!!
Uber prices per trip are not standard. It all depends on how much business they are getting at that time. And then I guess AI adjusts the price accordingly. So for example, one trip at rush hour is going to be a lot more expensive than that same trip when it's less busy. Sometimes it can even vary within like 10 minutes, depending on which drivers are busy.
Have 1 question your room was it a single or double as price seems steep for what it is...only if you have time ...thank you for the continually honest reviews...even if you were at wrong end waves would ve been same. .you look like u need a bitvof a rest from the video making lol. .

@@GabrielTravelerVideos La cruz is a must plus visit the marina cats
@GabrielTravelerVideos check it out! Especially the beach I mentioned just north of the marina.

If you enter Mexico on a Canadian passport you have to go to Bucerias. Or at least it seems that way. The place is choc full o' Canucks!
The entire Jalisco coast is a winter province of Canada! 🇨🇦 🇲🇽
I want to see Mexicans, not Canadians
Imo Bucerias was nicer before covid. Didn't feel like it was anything special last time I visited, everything was just kinda alright. Okay sights, Okay beach and Okay restaurants etc
@@GleeSmee that's a bummer, man. I don't need to see Canadians there

I see, good to know. In Hawaii it's the other way around, summer is smaller waves so I thought it might be the same here. ✌️
There's a interesting hike between sayulita and punta minta you might be interested in. - monkey mountain.
As far as the bus schedule you have to remember that you are on Mexico Time - which is we get there when we get there
Ahaha yes same lol..

Gabe you seem to have never ventured to various places in south america like Chile, Argentina. Are these places of interest to you?
It's the same ol, same ol. I suggest Atacama
Yes, especially interested in seeing Bolivia. Atacama sounds epic as well.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Great hope to see videos some time in the future
@@GabrielTravelerVideosAtacama is out of this world.
Mazatlán was my first town I visited as a teen with my buddies. Cannot believe we were 17 and went to Mazatlán on our own. Many years ago. Got me hooked on Mexico.
Thank You Gabriel🙂💚👍
Chacala would be awesome as well.
Dig that music!
Sweet.
Might check out south 4,5 hours to Melaque…Barra de Navidad…

Did you go
7:42 It is call Banderas Bay.
It looks quaint
The whole of Riviera Nayarit is beautiful man. Cheaper and more authentic than Riviera Maya too. Careful with those crocodiles!
Too crowded. No thank you
@DeputyDog-mh1yo the beaches on this video are but trust me there are some stunning secluded ones!
@@no_soy_rubio hopefully Gabe will show them

@GabrielTravelerVideos I think the Zih... town. Yeah that look like a really nice town too. Is that your second choice for the West Coast?
Yeah, there as well as Zipolite and Mazunte.
Hey Gabe, you should checkout Puerto Escondido or Mazunte both are one my fav beach towns on the Pacific side of Mexico
Escondido: ruclips.net/video/NSO3zfTxKrs/видео.html
Mazunte: ruclips.net/video/BjHhW549ZWg/видео.html
The beach and town at the southern end of Bucerías is nicer and more separated from the highway. About 10 mins along the beach from where you were.

What was the other Mexican beach town, south from there that you really liked too?
Gabrielle answered below to the wrong question. And so I will write it here, I believe the other town he really liked was Zihuatanejo.
Nice video, Yeah mazatlan would be a nice place to see for u and us as well :D
I just ran across this channel. 0:25 I love Mexico so I've subscribed.
Thanks, enjoy the adventures. ✌️
Would you prefer Sayulita to Puerto Escondido? Or what do you think your favorite Mexican beach town is?
Sayulita is my favorite of the ones that I've been to.

What about traveling around the Yucatán, visiting cenotes and some of the ruins?
I've been to the Yucatan tons of times and visited a lot of amazing cenotes, so it isn't high on my list to go back right now: ruclips.net/video/_11AqvArDbI/видео.html
Salud Gabriel ✌️
You didn't go to golden zone, or zona dorada in bucerias, that's the nice part.
Mazatlan would be sweet. You need to do a tour of Brazil.
😎👍🏻 I'll give Sayulita another go next time I go back to PV. Thanks amigo.
Hi Eddie. I'm not getting it, my man. I just don't see the appeal. The beach doesn't look great, mainly because of so many tourists and chairs. I dig the Caribbean more. What do you think, vato?
Forget it, Toro.

Greece and India
I've mentioned places I'd like to go in some previous videos, but I forget which videos. Sometimes I will discuss the places I'm considering going next.
Is Cuba in your near future?

Hola Mexico🇲🇽
Mexico looks quite clean compared to other 3rd world countries 😮😊!! I am impressed 😎 👏
Mexico is actually not a 3rd world country. It actually has the 15th largest economy in the world.
Mexico is on par with Turkey, last time I checked.

i think bali or polynesia would be great, they've both been richly googleable lately!! . . .
Less rides from Punta de Mita - so Uber charges more to get there since driver usually has to deadhead back to busier area
