Playa Carricitos, Sayulita
Today we went to Playa Carricitos. We followed a dirt road north out of Sayulita through the cemetery and turned left up a dirt road before Playa de Los Muertos and followed hand painted signs to Playa Carricitos. This beach usually has fairly mellow waves for body surfing, but today was a bit rough due to a small storm the day before. We went with a couple from our hotel, Shyla and Max, and met a very friendly beach dog. The beach dog we named Coco made herself at home on our beach towels and ran off with Shyla's shoe. Luckily Cody convinced Coco to trade the shoe for a stick. The waves were very fun to play in and Cody turned a nice reddish pink color. This beach had very little traffic and we had it all to ourselves.

It is so great to see this! I was just in Sayulita beginning of September (my second time) and the locals kept talking about Carricitas. I had a funny journey with a local friend on my last day trying to find it unsuccessfully. We took the road past Playa de los Muertos and passed the two or three turnoffs to the right till we arrived at the houses. A man told us to go back but we never hit the correct turn off road. I did see one little sign that said "Playa", but we ended up back at Playa Muertos. I hear Carricitos es un paradiso! I can't imagine topping Muertos. Did you know that Carricito is the name of the bamboo-like plant you find there? Thanks again for this!
