Hello, GSL. Welcome to a2k. I started a thread on Copper Canyon a while ago... don't remember anyone bringing up beaches, but you could look there. I'd love to hear how your trip goes. You're riding a motorcycle to Creel, then getting on the train?

Depends on what you like.

Do you like services and a place where you can say "another margarita, por favor"? Go South, to Mazatlán.
Do you like "natural" beaches? Go North, to Huatabampito.

"Topo" is, err, a port. Best thing you can do there is get the ferry to La Paz.

roads to the east get you down into the canyon and are reportedly just as highly scenic, albeit a bit more dangerous... we've heard there's a swimming hole at Batopilas (in the canyon) that is like no other.
