mmm, if you're into surfing I'd say Mazatlan, though I'm not 100% sure cuz I haven't been to Mazatlan yet (just Cancun and Cabo) but I did my research and it seems like Mazatlan is a good place for surfers.

Here's the location (green umbrella)


BTW, the state is called Baja California not Baha

Awesome photos!! I know it's been 2 months since I was in Hawaii but your pics have got me wanting to head down there soon. Looks like a lovely town...most people I know that have been to Mexico have gone there and they all say it's great. Funny seeing Pacifico 'cause that's my favourite Mexican beer as well and in fact that's all I drank when I was in Hawaii. Wow and those sunsets!

If I head down there this year I'll have to ask you some questions on where to go, prices, that sort of thing.

Absolutely, Overland. It is extremely popular for Canadians... I met loads of Vancouverites and Calgarians down there. The charter packages are cheap cheap cheap, but get more $$
as you go further into winter. expedia.ca is the best place to get the tickets, I think.

I don't blame you, ArchiTennis, Mexico is an amazing country. Mmmmmm I can taste that Pacifico now!!
We can't even buy it here... only Sol and of course Corona. I find Corona is sometimes not very fresh because of the clear bottle... even in Mexico, so I prefer Pacifico and Dos Equis!

Theres a good surf spot about an hour or so north of Puerto Vallarta called Sayulita, has board rentals, lessons and shops. I'm going to try and head up there next week, if I do I'll let you know how the swells are.

Tell me about it, its -5 with a few inches of snow, but i figuer by the time I get back the temps are going to be warming up and spring will be right around the corner!

Now I heard of a real good restaraunt near downtown called Pepe's i believe, any chance you got to dine there?

Hmmm... doesn't ring a bell. Our favourite was "Fajita Republic", and also Pacific Grill across the street. There are many wonderful restaurants in PV... possibly the best Mexican cooking might be at The Red Cabbage Cafe (www.redcabbagecafe.com.mx) or the nearby
"Bruja" (witch!!). Enjoy your trip.. I am jealous!

So I just got back from the Vallarta area today and I got to do some surfing in Sayulita, I rented a car from Bucerias and drove 25 minutes to the town. Lots of board rentals $5 an hour, and some decent waves for beginners to intermediate. It's a beautiful area and there are lots of surf spots around there, they offer water taxis to some of the real good spots.
