Mazatlan is a perennial favorite with North American sunbirds and snowbirds alike. Endowed with a stunning Pacific shoreline sprinkled with beckoning islands, a lovely seaside promenade, miles of golden beaches and blue lagoons, it really lives up to its moniker, “Pearl of the Pacific.” Mazatlan has the distinction of offering the best of both worlds. In the newer Zona Dorada (Golden Zone), developed in the 1960s, you’ll find most of the major hotels, shops, bars and restaurants scattered along a stunningly wide stretch of golden sand with water sports of all kinds on offer.
Meanwhile, in Old Mazatlan or the Centro Historico (Historic Center), life carries on as it did before tourists arrived in the markets, cafes, churches and shady plazas located throughout the beautifully restored traditional neighborhoods. You’ll find that the Mazatlecos, as the locals call themselves, are fun, friendly, helpful folks and are genuinely glad to host visitors. Foodies will love the variety of restaurants - from rustic beach shacks to romantic candlelit open-air courtyards, and as home base for Mexico's largest shrimp fleet, guess what heads most menus! The choice of accommodation ranges from small family-run hotels to luxurious properties in the Zona Dorada, complete with gourmet dining and spas. Mazatlan attracts sports minded vacationers who like a casual but active lifestyle and also want a genuine Mexican vacation experience.
Situated just south of the Tropic of Cancer, Mazatlan enjoys temperate semi-tropical weather year-round. The average temperature is between 77 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s always beach weather in Mazatlan offering all the ingredients for a memorable vacation.
