About Mazatlan, Mexico
Mazatlán is a major port city and tourist resort on Mexico's Pacific coast in Sinaloa state, one of the most visited stops on Mexican Riviera cruise itineraries. Known for its historic Old Town (Zona Histórica), beaches, Malecón promenade, and vibrant Carnaval celebration, it attracts major cruise lines year-round.
The Zona Histórica has been transformed over the past decade — beautifully painted colonial buildings frame the Plaza República and the neoclassical Angela Peralta Theater. The 21-km Malecón offers cycling, walking, and views of three offshore islands. Cliff divers perform daily near the Old Town waterfront. The Zona Dorada is the main beach resort area. Whale watching tours operate seasonally in winter.
