Piaxtla de Abajo - all beaches

This idyllic beach has a rich history that harkens back to the gold rush era. Gold bars were transported from the Durango mines along the Rio Piaxtla, one of Sinaloa's 11 rivers, to Estación Dimas. One of the town's founders, Candelario Ibarra Bastidas, managed the commercial house where the gold was processed and analyzed. The house had a laboratory and access to the town's railway station, which was iconic and gave the town its name. Unfortunately, the town has suffered from fires. From Estación Dimas, the gold was transported by rail to Mazatlán and then by boat from Barras de Piaxtla. Heavily armed men escorted the stagecoach loaded with gold for 12 kilometers to the coast, where it was loaded onto the boat. The gold was identified by its origin, and Dimas Gold Bars were proudly displayed as coming from the Piaxtla River. The locals became known as Piaxtleños or Barras de Piaxtla residents. Today, this beach is a heavenly place to relax and soak up the sun.
