Technically not an island -- it is a peninsula located just off the south end of the coast of Old Mazatlan that can be reached by land from the east -- Stone Island (Isla de la Piedra) is most often accessed by a short boat ride across the channel and definitely has a tropical island feel!

Mariachis and surfer at Stone IslandThis proximity has long made Stone Island one of the most popular and frequently recommended Mazatlan day trips.

Tranquil and clean, Isla de la Piedra is the perfect beach getaway from Mazatlan, and a perfect Mazatlan day trip.

Stone Island is known throughout Mexico for its beautiful, long sandy beaches -- Mexico's third largest coconut grove follows the length of the southern beach -- which seem to disappear as they stretch to the horizon.

Banana boat rides on Stone IslandBecause of its sheltered orientation, the beaches of Stone Island are usually calm, and the water often warmer than on Mazatlan's city beaches.

Gentle waves at Isla de la Piedra make for refreshing easy swimming, and the beach is the perfect place among our day trips around Mazatlan to take in the hot Mexican sun.

With about 4,000 residents, Stone Island day trips from Mazatlan have just the right combination of amenities and tranquility.

As you can imagine, this perfect beach environment is highly recommended for every sort of beach and watersport activity, including banana boat rides and some of the best snorkeling in Mazatlan.

On Sundays and holidays Isla de la Piedra draws Mexican families on their own Stone Island day trips, but at other times tourists on Mazatlan day trips are likely have the beach to themselves.

Stone Island lanchaStone Island Day Trip Directions

Getting to Isla de la Piedra couldn't be easier!

To begin Mazatlan day trips to Stone Island just drive (or take a taxi) to the Playa Sur Embarcadero just north of the Baja Ferry terminal -- you'll see signs for various lancha operators. The ride is short -- it's roughly 1/2 mile across the channel -- and the lancha's for Stone Island leave about every 20 minutes.

Your lancha ride to Stone Island will cost just 25p -- one of our least expensive Mazatlan day trips! The lanchas operate from about 7am until 7pm. If you stay on Stone Island later than 7pm there are other lanchas that operate 24 hours and land at the base of the slightly less convenient 21 De Marzo Street.
