Must see places along Mexico's Pacific Coast from Puerto Vallarta to Mazatlan?

Question

I'm heading to Mazatlan by way of Puerto Vallarta- we were thinking of adding stops in Sayulita, San Blas to our trip- suggestions for "must-see" towns, cities, etc?

We were also planning to stay in Mazatlan, but our schedule is totally open- are there any other nearby cities we should consider staying at?

Answer 1

I would take a peek at a few beaches along the way and skip San Blas.  Nothing more than 2-3 days.  Mazatlan is a lot more interesting with more to do and see - especially old town

Answer 2

San Blas is nice but not too friendly, Topic was fun, but Buceria just north of Puerto Villarda is one of my favorites. Good beaches, camping, and I enjoy sitting on the street at the seafood places by the big piles of fresh clams.

Answer 3

Rincon de Guayabitos is must. Located an hour north of Puerto Vallarta is a small town with a beautiful beach.Excellent if travelling with kids and everything is a whole lot cheaper.Also recommend Los Ayala which is 3 km. south of Guayabitos.
