An hour north of Sayulita, Chacala is a one-road fishing village wrapped around a jungle-backed cove: calm, swimmable water, pangas on the sand, and seafood restaurants with their feet in it.

It's the furthest of the classic day trips and the one that feels most like a secret.

Don't miss

01

The cove

Protected and calm, with proper swimming water and a gentle beginner wave at the south end on the right swell.
02

Seafood on the sand

A line of family-run beachfront restaurants serving the morning's catch. Order the pescado zarandeado.
03

Boat rides

Local pangas run short trips along the coast and to nearby surf spots when conditions line up.

Getting there

About an hour north via Highway 200 through Las Varas. Plan it as a rental car or hired driver day.
