Rare mkcurran Posted June 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Looking at the map I got last time in Mazatlan I realized we could have walked to the Malecon and enjoyed some beach time. This looks like a wrong I can right on my next trip in February. Has any been there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted June 28, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2018 We walked back to the ship from the cliff divers. I don't remember beach areas along the way. Perhaps they are farther north in the Golden Zone?? I think it is easier to walk to the water taxis and go to Stone Island for your beach time.

The map shows the beach south of the cliff divers...Hmmm..... But since you mentioned it, are the cliff divers worth seeing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted July 2, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) "Worth it" is different to everyone. If you are out and about nearby I'd stop off to watch for a short time. I wouldn't go out of my way to see them. We were nearby at a museum so it was convenient. Sorry that I didn't notice beach spots. OK sooo This web site describes the "best" beaches in Mazatlan. Most are either north in the Golden Zone or Stone Island. The one beach they mention by the Malecon starts around the Fisherman's Monument which is north of the Cliff Divers(clavadistas?) http://www.best-waterfront-destinations.com/mazatlan-beaches.html This map shows the cliff diver location and then north of that the Fisherman's Monument: https://goo.gl/maps/5pxdifdUs4J2 Edited July 2, 2018 by riffatsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc_redhead Posted July 2, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I agree with Riffatsea, in regards to the Cliff divers. We hailed a pulmonia driver and asked him to take us around the area and specifically to see the divers. It was pretty cool to watch them dive but they are quite aggressive when asking for large tips. We watched for a short time and then moved on.

riffatsea Posted July 2, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I do not know why my links are not "live"?? Hmm?? As for the divers, of course they want tips. They are making a living or pocket money or??? They are not doing it because it's fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.Swift Posted July 8, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Stone island was heaven!! Great Sandy beach with a good place to get a bite to eat and drink. Would definitely do it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
