💡 Tips

This area is farther from the historic center; renting a car or using ride-sharing apps is the best way to get to downtown Mazatlán.
The beaches here are long and less crowded, first-rate for sunset walks, but watch out for the undertow when swimming.
Look for the 'Pulmonías', the iconic open-air taxis of Mazatlán, for a breezy and fun ride along the Malecón to the south.
Visit the nearby water parks or marina early in the day to beat the midday heat and the afternoon crowds.
