Monumento al Pescador
A large sculpture of a fisherman and a woman along the middle of the Malecón, honoring the port's fishing tradition. Locals nickname it the 'naked monkey'.
Built in 1958, the sculpture shows a nude fisherman casting a net and a reclining woman. It is one of Mazatlán's oldest and best-known public sculptures, reflecting the city's tradition of shrimp fishing. Nearby is the widest stretch of the Malecón, and to the north it connects to Playa Norte, where in the early morning you can see fishermen selling fresh seafood on the sand.
