Playa Bruja is a place located in Mazatlán, a beach full of mystery and big waves. The name of this beach originates from a couple of local legends that narrate the appearance of witches on the beach during full moon nights. On the beach, there is a cave that can be accessed in two ways, by climbing among the rocks or when the tide is low. It is said that this cave is full of bats, and inside, a witch resides, guarding the gold and treasures that pirates unloaded there in ancient times.

It is rumored that one of these pirates, known as 'Captain Shadow,' disembarked at Witch Beach in search of a safe refuge to hide his stolen loot and made a pact with the witches who inhabited the beach, giving away part of his treasure in exchange for the magical protection they offered him.

In their alliance with Captain Shadow, they used the stolen gems and coins to strengthen their powers and perform rituals on full moon nights, and it was said that the witches drowned swimmers and those who dared to try to seize the hidden treasures. Over the years, rumors about Witch's Beach and its cursed treasure spread throughout the region. Fearless adventurers took up the challenge of facing the curses and deciphering the beach's mysteries; however, few returned, and none succeeded in seizing the treasure.

The legend of Witch's Beach in Mazatlán continues to thrive in local folklore, whispering stories of dancing shadows, flickering lights, and mysterious whispers emerging from the depths of the ocean. This place is a constant enigma, where pirate and witch narratives intertwine in a challenging tale that persists over time, making Mazatlán a place with a history, culture, and tradition that you must explore.
