The town of Acapulco, the most famous beach resort in Mexico, stretches for over 16 kilometres around Acapulco Bay. The Sierra Madre Mountains are just on the outskirts of town and are a favorite location for photographers who relish the verdant greenery,rocky cliffs and breathtaking water views.

Acapulco is a lively and fashionable resort destination offering scuba diving, angling, parasailing, water-skiing, golf, tennis,horseback riding and the unique spectacle of the Quabrada divers. While the waters of Acapulco Bay are famous for their calmness and safety, the beach of La Condesa offers rougher waters for those looking to do some surfing. Catch the morning sun at Playa Caleta and Playa Caletilla, and then the afternoon sun, around the bay to the east, at Playa Hornos.

Despite stiff competition from Cancun, Acapulco remains one of Mexico’s foremost seaside resorts. This popular Pacific playground instantly conjures images of idle days spent soaking up the sun and evenings of dining and dancing. Acapulco fulfills the scenic requirement for a tropical resort destination.
