Playa Cerritos
A quieter long beach north of the city, known for surfing and sunset seafood stands, and popular with locals on weekends.
Cerritos lies north of the northern end of the Malecón. It is less developed, with wide sands dotted with surf schools and simple seafood shacks. Next door, Playa Brujas is one of Mazatlán's better surf breaks. It is ideal for those who want to escape the crowds of the Zona Dorada and enjoy grilled fish by the sea at sunset. The waves are big and the currents strong, so pay attention to the safety flags when swimming. It takes about 15 minutes by bus or taxi from the Zona Dorada.
