Beaches
Nature gave "the Pearl of the Pacific" a remarkable number of some
of the most stunning beaches in the planet. The natural beauty
makes Acapulco perfect for those visitors who are after the
pleasures of the sun and the sea, and have been searching for the
perfect sand and water to relax in, enjoy or play sports in. All
the beaches in Acapulco are open to the public, including those
near the most exclusive hotel resorts. The following beaches are
particularly worth visiting:
Barra Vieja,
enormous in length;
Laguna de Tres Palos, which
eventually leads to the Pacific; Playas Caleta y
Caletilla in old Acapulco, a favorite among the locals; Mágico Mundo Marino; La Isla de la Roqueta;
La Angosta; Playa Condesa and the
Laguna de Coyuca. La Isla Roqueta is perfect for
snorkelling or windsurfing. While still on the subject of beaches,
it's necessary to mention the Playas Hornos y Hornitos: a swimmer's
paradise; and Playa Icacos, one of the finest
places in Acapulco. Playa Pie de la Cuesta is
the ideal place to sit and watch the sunset; what you see on the
postcards in nothing compared to the magical experience of seeing
it live. Surfers find its waters a true paradise. The waves of Bahía de Puerto Marqués are not
particularly swimmer-friendly, but many people prefer them for
water sports. At El Revolcadero you have the chance to ride a horse
along the shore and check out stunning views. Other beaches which
are well worth visiting include Playa
Tamarindos and Tlacopanocha.
