information about the city of Mazatlan and its lifestyle
Mazatlán has over 15 miles of pleasant beaches to enjoy. The most popular tourist beaches are located in the Golden Zone, which is located in the most desirable location in the city. In the Golden Zone you will find many varieties of water sports, great beachfront restaurants, and many of Mazatlán's most popular places. A great number of relaxing and entertaining beach amenities are available for personal enjoyment.
Much of the beach action is really not in the sand or surf, but along the Malecon, which fronts the beaches. Each evening when the sun starts to set the Malecon springs to life. The Malecon in Mazatlán is the longest boardwalk in Latin America and is a great place for some old fashion people watching. Many of the locals come to the Malecon each evening to watch the sunset and perhaps have an evening swim.
For surfers, finding the waves is a pretty easy task in Mazatlán, just drive the length of the Malecon and you should be able to find some decent waves. Mazatlán has quite a few surf breaks within the city and also on the beaches to the south.
The Golden Zone is the location of most of the tourist hotels, the finest eating establishments and the hub for shopping and local night life. For our purposes the golden zone is anywhere north of Punta Sabalo, which is home to one of the city's most recognizable attractions, Valentino's. Most of the nightlife, hotels and attractions in the Golden Zone are within walking distance of each other. If walking is not you thing, Mazatlán offers a unique form of transportation, the Pulmonía. These handy, open air cabs, are unique to this area and are seemingly everywhere. They will take you wherever you want to go in the city at a very reasonable price.
