The region's home court
Nawalli Sayulita Pickleball Club is the anchor of pickleball on the Riviera Nayarit.
Two professionally surfaced, lit outdoor hard courts, a covered bar and lounge, showers, pro shop, and a calendar that runs six days a week from 8am. It's where the coast's regular players meet, where visiting groups are sent, and where the region's tournaments are held — the La Puesta Sayulita Open in May and the Riviera Nayarit Open in November.
Sayulita sits in the middle of the coast: about ten minutes from San Pancho, half an hour from Punta Mita, forty minutes from Bucerías and an hour from Puerto Vallarta's airport. Wherever you're staying, the club is a short drive.
