"Mazatlan" a Mazatlán Travel Page by Tolik

Mazatlan is one of the most important tourist destinations in the world. Mazatlan is one of the greatest resorts in Mexico, attracting visitors with its gold-sand beaches, exceptional fishing, historic downtown, and new championship golf facilities. In the same time, Mazatlan is surprisingly relaxed; even though its biggest Mexican port on the Pacific coast. Set in a beautiful cove of the Pacific, Mazatlan lies at about the same latitude as Hawaii. The temperature fluctuates from mid-60's to mid-90's depending on the time of the year.

Mazatlan spreads for 15 sun-splashed miles along a thumb of land that extends southward into the Pacific just below the Tropic of Cancer. The town thus marks the beginning of the Mexican tropics: a palmy land of perpetual summer and refuge from winter cold for growing numbers of international vacationers. Mazatlan definitely deserves its title as "The Pearl of the Pacific".
