Los Ayala is a small beach town and fishing village. A family favourite, the town itself is made up of small hotels and rustic bungalows for accommodations. The beach is very popular with families enjoying the calm surf and shallow beaches, and beach vendors offer up everything from handmade blankets and sunglasses to inflatable water toys, food, and sweets. Early in the morning, you can also find fisherman bringing in fresh caught red snapper, dorado, and prawns.

The town boasts many street vendors of authentic Mexican fair, small shops, and vegetable markets. There are several outlets for beer and spirits, and places to pick up ice and coolers for the beach. Other amenities in town include a small pharmacy, a doctor’s office, a handful of sit down restaurants, and ATMs located at Picnic Market and the lobby of the Casa Mendoza hotel
