PLANNING NOTES
How to shape Sayulita
01
Use Sayulita historic core as the orientation base, then group Sayulita historic anchor and Sayulita market and food route before crossing to the other side of Sayulita.
02
Give Sayulita waterfront or civic edge its own slower block; the local rhythm there is more useful than adding another distant headline stop.
03
Plan Sayulita regional landscape as a deliberate extension from Sayulita regional base, checking return timing before committing the day.
