Where to See the Best Mazatlán Sunsets

The sunsets in Mazatlán are absolutely amazing!

If you are standing along the beaches of the popular Golden Zone, you can watch the sun drop perfectly behind the distinct silhouette of Deer Island. If you explore further north toward Cerritos or south into Old Town, you will witness the sun sink directly into the open waters of the Pacific Ocean!

You can view these stunning evening colors from almost any beach stretch along the coast completely for free.

Our absolute favorite neighborhood spot to toast the sunset with an ice-cold Pacifico lager is out on the beachfront decks of Joe's Oyster Bar right inside the Golden Zone.

Other premier local viewing perimeters include: 1) the panoramic rooftop sky-bar at the Hotel Posada Freeman in historic Olas Altas, 2) the upper lounge levels inside the Holiday Inn Resort Hotel, and 3) the panoramic terrace bar positioned at the historic Observatory 1873 high up on Paseo Centenario.

If you have a favorite hidden sunset overlook of your own, please contact our team with details and photos so we can add them to our public directory lines!
