Read More Since its days as THE place to be for 1950s millionaires and movie stars, Acapulco has remained one of the most popular beach resorts in Mexico. Situated on the deep semi-circular Acapulco Bay, the area is known for its excellent beaches, idyllic islands and fantastic nightlife, making it an enduring favorite among beach bums and night owls alike.

The beaches lining Acapulco Bay are crowded but excellent, while visitors may want to escape the crowds on a day trip to the Isla La Roqueta, or the idyllic Playa Pie de la Cuesta, known for its white powdery sands and amazing sunsets. Wherever you decide to pitch your umbrella, be sure not to miss the daily shows of daring put up on by the Quebrada Cliff Divers. This local institution has been plunging from the 125 cliffs off the Acapulco Bay daily since 1934, wowing visitors with their death-defying feats. Once you’ve had a full day on the beach, get ready for some of the best nightlife in Mexico, at Acapulco’s best bars and clubs like the panoramic Palladium.

While not renowned for its sightseeing opportunities, Acapulco does boast a few interesting spots. History buffs will enjoy an afternoon at the 17th century Fuerte de San Diego, one of the most important Spanish forts on the Pacific coast, while photography buffs will thrill to the incredible bay views at the Capilla de la Paz, a contemporary chapel situated 1,200 feet above sea level.
