Great area to walk along the beach, hang out, shop and eat delicious sea food! It is also one of the top spots to surf!

Right at the tip of the beach. Happy hour drinks are great. Sandy feet? No prob, walk right off the beach. The shower at the door will rinse you off. Surf the beach then grab a drink

Best place to eat and drink. I liked all the tequila sampling. Didn't like that we had to leave. There is nothing the I didn't like.

First off, let me say that this restaurant was AMAZING! We went for happy hour... (I think it's 6-8pm?) And it was 2 for 1 drinks! Great tequila selection!

Beautiful view - delicious fish menu - good service My husband had been here before and while it is at the far end of Mazatlan, it was worth the drive! Fortunately we were driving as it would be a long cab or pulmonia ride.

I always enjoy the Bruja. I like watching the surfers and checking out the beach. I go to Mr Lionsos for lunch and once I was there for the sunset. That was nice too!!

Wonderful to watch the surfers from here, but not for swimming. Gorgeous sand, great waves, a short walk from the Riu Emerald Bay hotel.
