Use this moment to take photos, gaze out upon the Pacific Ocean and think about how much more interesting things get from here! This ...
This monument is only marginally better than the prior one! Mazatlan’s iconic form of transportation, the pulmonia, is a very popular photo-op along the malecon. Behind the pulmonia is another bit of monument to Cerro el Creston, the iconic landmass rising up from the sea at the entrance to Mazatlan’s port. On top of Cerro el Creston (the monumenta...

Here you’ll find vendors, families posing for photos, several restaurants, a waterpark for the kiddies and an asso...
Just beyond El Muchacho Alegre restaurant is an area we call Fisherman’s Beach. This isn’t the most inviting spot for swim but it isthe place to buy fresh fish right off the boat – literally! Many outboard fishing boats pull ashore here throughout the morning. Some of their catch is sold right along the malecon; there’s no middleman here and the fi...
