7 miles of uninterrupted paved boardwalk (Malecon) along the oceanfront. It is one of the most unique and well used social meeting areas in Mazatlan. It seems that everyone wants to get out there and walk, or run, or bicycle, or roller blade, or just sit and watch the world go by. People start showing up at sunrise or earlier... More

Early morning walks on the Malecon were always enjoyable. SAFE place to walk, bike or skate for tourists and locals. Beautiful beach with many access points from the walkway. We started our walks daily from the INN at Mazatlan around O'dark thirty...still dark out and we'd walk to turn off to the aquarium before returning. Lots of photo ops. Many... More

There is a wide sidewalk for joggers and walkers and there are now trash cans and regular cleaning so it is a very pleasant ocean walk. More

This is one of my favourite "Malecones" in México. The malecón in Mazatlán is quite long, in very good conditions and clean. Excellent for a morning jogging and evening walk More

Great place to walk or ride bicycles. This is where Carnaval is at it's best. There's also Moto Week which is interesting especially if you like motorcycles. Good restaurants along the malacon and, of course, the view is wonderful. More

It is a wonderful place to take a walk, ride your bike, roller blade, jog or skateboard. There are many restaurants just below the malecon and many vendors on the malecon. Beautiful for daytime or evening and very safe. More

The Malecon in Mazatlan is a flat paved walkway that borders the ocean for perhaps 6 miles. My husband and I took a Pulmonia for $100 pecos from Pueblo Bonito Mazatlan to a point just beyond the Fisherman monument and walked back to Pueblo Bonito Mazatlan. This walk took us several hours, but it was interesting to check out the... More
