Mazatlán, Mexico: Glittering Nightclubs, Historic Plazas, and Golden Beachfront

Situated along Mexico’s west coast, Mazatlán’s golden beach and frenetic nightlife have always appealed to young adults. But recently, the picturesque city also has started to attract a fair share of families, couples, and retirees due to its charming old town, its hillside vistas, and its outstanding seafood (the city calls itself the “Shrimp Capital of the World”). Tourists also come to the coast to surf, snorkel, relax on the beach, or go on deep-sea-fishing expeditions for marlin and mahi-mahi. Offshore, there are hundreds of small islands where daredevils dive off rocky cliffs into the Pacific Ocean.

Of course, the city still has a flashy side. The aptly named Zona Dorada, or golden zone, embodies oceanfront development at its glitziest. Nightclubs line Avenida Camarón Sábalo. Here you’ll find Fiesta Land, a castle-like complex that’s home to the popular Valentino’s dance club and several other venues playing R&B, Latin, and pop hits.

Mazatlán embraces its past as much as its present. A massive restoration effort in the Centro Historico, or historic district, has revitalized its cobblestone streets, wrought-iron doorways, and colonnaded arcades. At its heart lies Plaza Machado, a central square with sidewalk cafés, friendly bars, and buskers playing live folk music. Try to catch a dance or opera performance at the nearby Angela Peralta Theater, a 19th-century masterpiece that was re-inaugurated in 1992.
