Wonderful downtown square anchored at one end by the Angela Peralta Theater and surrounded by restaurants of all kinds. On weekends, there is music and vendor booths. Great fun!

Malecon de Mazatlan

Stretching from the original Mazatlan past the Golden Zone to the end of Cerritos Beach, Mazatlan's waterfront street is the backbone of the city.

Awesome to have such a long boardwalk. We had a great day seeing the sculptures, the craft stands, the people fishing, and the open water ocean pool. Bring water and a big bag to carry everything.

Baluarte Bridge

Reviewed By PlatinumFish96

The bus terminal in Mazatlan is small but clean. I took the ETN bus line from Mazatlan to Durango. The bus was first quality with wide seats and clean bathrooms. The new highway is amazing! I learned that in the past it took 12 hours to get from Mazatlan to Druango but with this new road it only takes 4.5 to 5 hours. A good amount of tunnels were needed to go across instead of around the mountains but the Baluarte Bridge just takes your breath away, standing 400 meters above the Baluarte river, and surrounded by all of the Sierra Madre muntains.

Punta de Clavadistas

This four-story platform above the ocean is known to locals as "Divers' Point."

Reviewed By Fearless755933 - West Covina, United States

Its a beautiful setting where divers leap to showcase their daredevil skills. They ask for a donation after their dive, be kind and have your dollars ready!
