"I really liked everything, the set up, how the event brought Sayulita more life, it was really cool" 

- Eduardo Guerrero Chica Locca  

 

 

 

 

"I think is a very good thing for Sayulita that this kind of events are happening, and we are not just seen as a Surf or beach town. It is also a really good thing for all of us living here to be able to do something different. I would have liked more activities in the streets or in the Plaza, seen it more out there and not just in specific venues." 

- Belem Colin Yah Yah Cafe  

 

 

"It was so well run and organised, I was so impressed with everything. There was not one hiccup that I could see..."  

 

-Tracie Willis Choco Banana

 

 

 

 

"They really impressed me because it was very well organised, although I think they missed the focus a little bit more on the Mexican audience, the locals. In general I think it was great. I went to a movie at Casa de la Cultura and two on the beach and the last night was the best with the full moon." 

- Liliana Perez La Hamaca Gallery

After noticing one very awesome looking poster hanging around Sayulita, we contacted organizer Octavia Jolley (Sayulita Sea Camps and Sayulita Bebe) to ask a few questions about this free Sayulita kids event.

 

SayulitaLife: First of all, can you please tell us a little bit about yourself? 

 

Octavia: I am originally from Carmel, California which is on the Monterey Bay, a stunning ecosystem and amazing spot for ocean exploration and adventure. After a stint working at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in the Education Department, the motivation began for doing my own project, which is Sayulita Sea Camp, a day camp program for kids focusing on marine biology. I love sharing the excitement of learning with kids, and now I can do that with my own two boys, who were born here in the area. The best thing about living here is the access to it all: whale watching, SCUBA diving, surfing, SUPing- it all is related to the ocean! Read entire interview

When Casey Hatfield-Chiotti called us last Fall regarding a write-up in San Diego Magazine, we were more than willing to give her an insider's view on the best of what Sayulita has to offer.   The article was supposed to be released in the December issue of the magazine but ended up being postponed until now.

Tasting tequilas at Don Pedro's palapa is very nice work if you can get it, and I got it during last Saturday evening at the first annual Festival Master Tequila Tasting. Tequila fans were able to glide from one table to another, sipping the elixir from the blue agave plant, listening to live music and munching on delicious hors d'oeuvres. Read more  

Every time I write about wine and food pairings, I start off with this important caveat. Each person, expert or novice, should understand that it's all about individual tastes. So, this is simply my take on a tasty event-a tequila and food pairing at Calypso last Friday night for Festival Sayulita. Read more  

The high season is upon us here in Sayulita and for many people, businesses, and organizations this is a good thing. For Costa Verde, it's a great thing, as high season brings a plethora of talented and committed volunteers. Volunteers at Costa Verde do many things: they read to children, teach English, French and math, work in our gardens and provide assistance to our teachers. Many return each season loaded with new materials for the school, and we at CVIS are, of course, very thankful. Without these volunteers, we could not provide the variety of and differentiation in instruction that we do. Read more  

There are few things so life altering as the birth of a baby. It changes every aspect of our lives-financially, emotionally, spiritually, not to mention those intangible ways in which words fail. I both found and lost myself when my babes were born and having them has influenced every decision I have made since. So, when my husband and I moved to Sayulita with three young kids in tow, I found myself fascinated by the wonderfully brave and genuinely beautiful women and their families who have not only chosen to make Sayulita their home-but have a baby here as well! Read more
