Playa Olas Altas ('high waves') is a beach by old Mazatlán, the start of the city's oceanfront Malecón. The surf runs high — good for surfing and wave-watching — with a sculpture garden and historical plaques along the shore, near the famous cliff-diver performance, capturing Mazatlán's maritime character.
