Mazatlán grew as a strategic Pacific port in the 19th century; French naval attacks in 1864 left architectural marks and coastal defenses that still shape viewpoints today.
Conservation
The malecón faces coastal erosion and high visitor pressure; stick to marked walkways, avoid collecting shells, and support local businesses that practice responsible tourism.
