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.
