Zona Dorada
Mazatlán's resort hotel district, lined with beaches, souvenir shops, bars and restaurants. It is where most foreign visitors stay.
The Zona Dorada lies in the northern section of the Malecón and has developed into a resort area since the 1970s. Large resort hotels line Gaviotas Beach and Sábalo Beach, where you can go parasailing, jet skiing and banana boating. Souvenir shops, silver jewelry stores and bars line the streets, and nightlife is lively. This is one of the departure points for boat trips to Isla de Venados. Hotels cost a bit more than in the Old Town, making it a good choice for visitors who want to focus on the beach.
