Parasailing You can parasail off Playa Sabalo at the north end of the Zona Dorada. Check with the vendors in front of the Camino Real, El Cid and Costa de Oro hotels. Surfing The surf off some Mazatlan beaches can be quite good, especially at Playa Norte, Playa las Gaviotas and Punta Camaron. The course sits inland from the hotel, next to a new yacht marina. Phone 133-333 to arrange a tee time.
Some cruise ships have arrangements with other hotels that have courts.
Hunting Dove and duck hunting are popular in the region October-April. For information, contact the Aviles brothers, phone 816-060. Spectator Sports Bullfights are held every Sunday from Christmas to Easter at the Plaza de Toros Monumental on Calzada Rafael Buelna and at El Toreo on Avenida Camaron Sabalo. Inquire about tickets at the visitor information center. Most of the land around Mazatlan has been overtaken by commerce and construction.
