Miramar Condominium
Condominios Miramar
Although an otherwise unremarkable building, the beachfront condominium tower where infamous drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán was arrested in 2014 (he later escaped) has become somewhat of a tourist attraction, or at least a mildly-popular photo opportunity. You cannot enter the building.

Estadio Teodoro Mariscal
Mazatlan's hometown baseball team, the Venados, have been playing in Mexico's winter leageu (Liga Pacifica) since 1945, though the stadium itself dates from 1960. There's really not a bad seat in the house and prices are cheap (and so is the food and beer). If you're planning to go to a game, it might be better to take a bus or a taxi because there is no parking lot and street parking is tight.

Playa Norte
Along the boardwalk you'll find the Fishermen's Memorial, better known as monkeys bichis; a bronze replica of a pulmonia taxi and a monument to the Pacific Brewery. This is great swimming and has a number of palm-roofed fish restaurants right on the beach. The southern end of this beach is dedicated to fishermen and their boats.
