Things to do in Concordia

Olas Altas Beach is one of Mazatlán’s most well-known beaches. The place buzzes with activity, particularly when the weather is warm and dry. Sit on the sand and observe surfers tackle the waves or rent a board and join them out in the water.

Home to French- and Spanish-influenced architecture, Plaza Machado is one of Mazatlán’s most eye-catching squares and the social centerpiece of Mazatlán’s Old Town. Come here to admire antique buildings, dine at stylish cafés and see local musicians perform.

Enjoy the soft sand, rock formations, coconut trees and clear water that make Playa Brujas one of the most picturesque beaches in Mazatlán. It is also one of the emptiest and is located a short distance away from the resort town's popular tourist beaches.

El Faro Lighthouse is an emblematic landmark of Mazatlán that offers unobstructed city and coastal vistas. The 19th-century tower stands atop the Cerro del Creston, which at 523 feet (159 meters) above high tide, is one of the highest points in Mazatlán. Hike to the summit of the hill and look out over the city’s beaches, harbor, islands and Old Town.

El Mirador is a vantage point where you can see fantastic views over the town of Mazatlán and the Pacific Ocean. It stands atop a hill and contains an eponymous restaurant with seating overlooking the excellent view. Walk with family and friends to the top of this small mountain for a panoramic vista.

Baluarte Bridge is an extraordinary cable-stayed structure that stretches across a valley between the states of Durango and Sinaloa. Its road is a dizzying 1,322 feet (403 meters) above the valley floor, making it one of the top 10 highest bridges of any kind in the world. Brave yourself for the vertigo-inducing setting before crossing the bridge with your vehicle.
