Acapulco, Mexico

There is no doubt that the magic -- and lure -- of Acapulco begins with its beautiful beaches of golden sand, warm water and exotic palm trees, meaning that every conceivable type of water sport is offered. Factor in the natural environment of the city and you know that Acapulco is all about the outdoors. So when you're done playing on the beach, check out how the other natives of Acapulco (the aquatic birds and animals) live in their tropical forests, lagoons, bays or fruit tree houses.

Pie de la Cuestra

Located 10 km northwest of Acapulco, Pie de la Cuestra is known internationally for its spectacular sunsets. Located on the open ocean, its waves are very strong and tumultuous. Sometimes you can even spy whales and dolphin swimming by.

Punta Diamante

This neighborhood overlooks the "C" shaped bay located in original Acapulco.

Caleta y Caletilla

These two beaches became the center for entertainment and fun for movie stars during the 50s and 60s. Protected naturally by Roqueta Island (pictured) which blocks out the Pacific currents and gives the beaches calm waves and shallow waters, ideal for families with young beachgoers.

La Roqueta

The reason to visit Roqueta Island is to see the glass-bottomed boat, allowing you to view the marine wildlife of the bay and the submerged image of the Virgin of the Seas, Saint of Fisherman, located on one side of the rocky island of Yerbabuena.
