The summer rains have begun and with it a cleansing of the jungle and town. Water fills the streets and the river fills again bringing everything and anything with it to the ocean. This summer something happened that was out of the ordinary when the first heavy rains came.

In our neighboring town of San Pancho, the river mouth was thick with water lilies. When the first rains came the lilies were swept out to the ocean and the currents brought some of the large green mass of vegetation to Sayulita's beaches.
Like some scene out of a movie, the estimated 20+ tons of lilies covered the beaches and swimming areas. Townspeople and local authorities teamed up to remove the huge amount of vegetation and restore the beach to its normal appearance.
The situation was purely an "aesthetic" one. There have been concerns over the sargassum situation on the Cancun side of the country and the situation spreading to the Pacific side. Not the case here and everything was restored to normal in a few days. All photos by others.
