THE BEST BEACHES IN ACAPULCO

Acapulco's beaches are world renowned for their beauty and their services. Some of the most beautiful are:

Caleta and Caletilla 

They are two of the most known and visited beaches of Acapulco located in the Traditional zone. Twin beaches separated by a small outcropping of land that sparkle brightly in the Old Acapulco. Here you will find thatched-roofed seafood restaurants and watersports equipment for rent. Since the beaches have gentle waves, they both are great to practice snorkel, paddle board and kayak. There are also glass bottom brightly painted boats that ferry passengers to Roqueta Island.

Pie de la Cuesta 

It is about 45 minutes north of Acapulco, is a lovely stretch of tropical beach that extends for 17 kilometers between the Pacific Ocean and the beautiful Coyuca Lagoon. It has extremely high and dangerous waves, and it has hosted surfing events. Sometimes, you can spot some whales and dolphins, making this beach a unique place to admire the sunsets. You'll find many local resorts and seafood restaurants, perfect for couples seeking secluded romance or for nature lovers.

Playa Condesa 

With strong waves that are perfect for skiing and parasailing, Condesa Beach is the liveliest in the bay, famous for its restaurants, clubs, bars and discos. You can find parasailing and jet ski rental, though it is not very recommended for swimming. If you're feeling a little more adventurous, you can jump with the bungee cord around your ankles and enjoy the beautiful bay.

Playa Icacos 

A wide strip of sand with gentle waves, a family-friendly beach lined with high-rise hotels. Here the swimmers and water sports lovers can have a lot of fun. The beach was recognized by the Foundation for Environmental Education’s (FEE) Blue Flag program.

Playa Revolcadero 

Lovely wide stretch of sandy beach. Waves are large and surfing is popular here, especially in summer, but a strong undertow makes swimming dangerous. It is ideal for horseback riding. The beach has seen a recent explosion in luxury tourism and residential development. The beach was recognized by the Foundation for Environmental Education’s (FEE) Blue Flag program.
