Carricitos — Attraction in Nayarit

This hidden little beach is a little bit of trek from Sayulita. Walk past the edge of town and follow the road around the corner of the bay. Stay to the left. Walk past the cemetery and then take a left when the path meets the beach. Walk up the road take your second right. Stay to the right and when you get to the top of the hill take a left. Go down the hill and around a corner and you will see the concrete entrance on the right hand side that says this way to the beach. Follow that down the sketchy and fairly steep pathway to the one of the best private beaches in Sayulita.

This trek is definitely worth the time and effort to make the 20 to 30 minute walk from the end of the beach. I do not recommend walking...

Playa Carricitos is an absolutely beautiful and pristine beach and a hidden gem near Sayulita!

The beach is about a 30 minute walk from Sayulita down narrow dirt roads through the jungle. You go through a marked door to access the beach and then down a steep hill.

Carricitos has soft sand and huge waves and is backed by the jungle. There are large rocks to climb around on which is fun. Beware of the crabs!

There are no services, bathrooms or restaurants on this beach. I loved how undeveloped and secluded it is and it’s definitely a piece...
