Nice viewpoint over looking the town. It’s recommended to visit close to sunset time. To go there, turn right before the Pollería (see photo attached). Have fun in Mancora!
We recommend to pass through the first stairs you see, going to the snack bar. The owner is very nice, the place is beautiful, and you’re contributing to the preservation of the area.
Amazing views of the sunset and sunrise

Reviews

The Mancora Lighthouse offers a nice viewpoint overlooking the town, especially recommended close to sunset for amazing views. Visitors can enjoy fruit drinks and snacks at the top after a climb. However, there have been reports of safety concerns in the evening with incidents involving fake policemen and attempted robbery. Despite this, many recommend visiting during daylight hours to contribute to the preservation of the area and enjoy beautiful views over Mancora.
