Vacationing in areas that have beaches always results in time lying in the sun watching the water, swimming, fishing or just relaxing. Playa Norte in Mazatlan, SI is a stretch of beach that runs a mile long. Although it's not recommended for swimming, it is a beautiful beach with even more beautiful soft sand. Most of the tourists that come to the Playa Norte, just enjoy walking along the beach.
Playa Norte is a very clean beach with beautiful white sand that is very fine, which accounts for why so many enjoy just walking barefoot along the beach. The water is very clear and a beautiful blue/green in color. You can go fairly far in this beach and still be in shallow water, so this is good for those that want to swim or wade in the water.
Not to far from the beach you will find a great palapa beach bar and restaurant called Sergio's Playa Sol, which is walking distance from the beach. You can go there for a bite to eat, a simple drink or just to relax. It's a very nice place with a friendly atmosphere and a perfect view of the sunset.
Playa Norte is three miles from the downtown section of Mazatlan, so many people choose to walk the distance for the opportunity to get as much sightseeing as they can on the way. The Olas Atlas Inn is across the street from the Play Norte, so those staying at the Inn have a beautiful view of the water from their rooms.
