While other beach resorts in Mexico work hard to dazzle visitors with mega-resort excitement, the equation for a great vacation in Mazatlan is a simple one of fun, plus food, plus lots of world-class fishing. Mexico's largest West Coast port and the second largest coastal city combines affordable accommodations with seaside charm and plenty of ways to have fun in the sun.
There are 3 distinct zones: the port and downtown area, known as Old Mazatlan, the Zona Dorada, home to nearly all of Mazatlan's visitor attractions, and a long stretch of mostly undeveloped beach that separates the two. Open-air bistros and bars line the uncrowded but active shore, where water sports break the surf and strolling vendors mix with sunbathers.
Anglers get a special treat, with some of the best deep-sea fishing in the world. Shoppers have a great time downtown buying everything from piñatas to designer handbags. A palm-lined seaside promenade connects the shopping district to the old section of the city, which is home to restored 19th century buildings. Mazatlan also has excellent dining, especially for seafood, and great nightlife.
