Amphibious vehicles take vacationers to this uninhabited island off Mazatlan for snorkeling trips and other beach activities.

This tourist strip houses many exclusive mega-hotels.

Stretching from the original Mazatlan past the Golden Zone to the end of Cerritos Beach, Mazatlan's waterfront street is the backbone of the city.

Central plaza named for Juan Nepomuceno Machado who donated the land.

This four-story platform above the ocean is known to locals as "Divers' Point."

Located in the downtown area, the plaza features a gazebo and mango trees in traditional Mexican style.
