Ten minutes north of Sayulita, San Pancho (officially San Francisco) is where many Sayulita residents end up once they want more quiet and more space. The town has one main street that runs from the highway to the beach, a famous polo club, an arts scene out of proportion to its size and a beach that is long, wide and rarely busy.

Land here is a mix of in-town lots on the grid, hillside parcels in the jungle behind town and a handful of beachfront properties that change hands rarely.

Character

  • One main street, Avenida Tercer Mundo, running straight to the sand
  • Arts, polo, a community center and a strong core of full-time residents
  • A wide, uncrowded beach with powerful surf
  • Jungle hills close behind town with large parcels
