Mazatlán can romance you with its Old Town and excite you with its excursions of adventure, but for many it’s simply the surf, sun, and seafood. And Mazatlán’s Golden Zone offers all three. Surf Class in the Golden Zone I always wanted to surf Mazatlán. I road tripped once form Mazatlan to San Blas to surf the waves of Nayarit, […]

Three Mexican Beaches on TripFilms
Although not specifically outlined in my goals for 2011, creating more video more (or really some) video for my site is part of my goals. I want my photography not to solely capture moment through a specific images, but even tell more of a story. Sometimes, that requires video. And to start off the year, […]
Lunch at Pizotita Beach concludes a Vallarta Adventure
The beach. It’s one of the many reasons people travel to Mexico, perhaps the most common reason. I’m not surprised. Mexico has amazing stretches of sand. And lunch on the beach, well that is truly part of the culture (through cuisine) in Mexico too. During the Beach Thursday series this winter, I highlighted a few […]
Surfin’ with Stoners in San Blas, Nayarit

My journey began at the El Cid Marina Hotel where I […]

I embraced the “Beach Thursday” concept. However, this idea was not my […]
Alagua in Mazatlán’s Golden Zone
Just up from the golden sand beaches of Mazatlán’s zona dorada (golden zone) beach goers can sit down and enjoy the food and cheerful ambiance of Alagua. Ceviche, oysters, scallops, shrimp and the local huachinango fish fill the menu. It’s seafood, seafood, seafood. And it’s delicious. On my visit, our large table ordered most everything off […]
An Afternoon at Nest Key
When you think of the National Park Service, you rarely think of a beach. Yellow Stone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon come to mind. Yet, I grew up visiting a National Seashore – Sailor´s Haven, Fire Island. It is part of the National Park Service, but not a ‘Park.’ Semantics? Maybe, but I did find […]
