About Mazatlán

Mazatlán, on Mexico's Pacific coast in Sinaloa, is a beach city with a long seafront promenade, a restored historic centre and fresh seafood.

Mazatlán wraps around a rocky peninsula and a long curve of sandy beach on the Pacific, with a seafront promenade, the malecón, running for many kilometres. The historic centre is built around the Plazuela Machado, a square of cafés and live music, with the nineteenth-century Ángela Peralta Theatre and the cathedral nearby. A lighthouse stands on a high hill at the harbour mouth. The name means place of deer in Nahuatl.
