Visiting Mazatlan
Cheap, laid-back, and blessed with sunny beaches and great fishing, the Pacific resort town of Mazatlán is just right for unfussy, budget-conscious travelers. The Zona Dorada, where most visitors stay, could hardly be considered pristine (high-rise hotels dominate). Still, Mazatlán is considerably less crowded than other Mexican resort towns, like Puerto Vallarta to its south… but perhaps not for long. Golf courses are popping up, and fancier boats are beginning to fill the harbor.
