Sunset at the Beach of the Dead

In March I had the good fortune to travel to Sayulita, Mexico for my second visit.  It is a wonderful small fishing village turned surf destination on the Pacific coast north of Puerto Vallarta.  While it has its share of tourists and ex pats, it has managed to remain small and quiet, with no hi-rise resorts or garish shopping/club districts.  Most of the roads are dirt and there are just about as many chickens and dogs as there are people.  The local fishermen still launch their boats every morning right from the same sandy beach that the tourists lounge on.

In my two visits I have found some great photography subjects that really give a feel of how idyllic the area is.  These are some images from my most recent trip.
