Amstar Insider Tip

Let's turn your vacation into something more!

While most visitors flock to the popular Golden Zone (Zona Dorada) beaches, the true hidden gem is Playa Brujas on the northern edge of Mazatlan. This beach is less crowded, with bigger waves perfect for surfing and a laid-back vibe ideal for relaxing away from the hustle. Visit in the early morning for a serene walk along the shore with just the sound of crashing waves or catch the sunset for breathtaking views with far fewer tourists around. Plus, local vendors often sell fresh coconuts and seafood right on the beach for the perfect seaside snack.
