Acapulco has some of the best beaches in Mexico, perhaps some of the best beaches
in the world. From Pie de la Cuesta to Caleta to the Golden Zone and out to Puerto
Marques and Diamante, there are dozens of great beaches to choose from and even
more distinct personalities.
Some of the beaches are good for swimming, while at some its downright dangerous. Acapulco is not so great for surfing though there a a few sports with some waves, but it is always great for lounging. Some Acapulco beaches offer total freedom while the vendors at others make it a little difficult to relax (though you don't get the super high presure touts on Acapulco's beaches that you do in some other countries).

This busy
beach is located right at the end of the Malecon and across from the Maratime
terminal. It's great place to watch the cruise ships pull in and take in some
real Mexican culture.
