ARTICLEIntroduction This beach destination on a stretch of Pacific coast known as the “Mexican Riviera” boasts the tropical allure of blue water, golden sand and sunshine. Acapulco became famous in the 1960s as a getaway for Hollywood movie stars. Today, however, it's more popular with Mexican families. Luxury resorts and hot dance clubs remain, although in recent years the city has had to contend with headline-grabbing violent incidents associated with Mexico's ongoing drug cartel wars.Introduction
ARTICLEIn Depth Travel Advisory: We do not recommend travel to the state of Guerrero due to the U.S. Department of State’s “Do Not Travel” warning. The acute level of crime and violence in this area prohibits AAA inspections.In Depth
ARTICLEBest Restaurants in Acapulco Although Acapulco has its share of local hangouts dishing up tacos and other regional Mexican fare, it's worth getting casually dressed up (no tie or jacket, but no shorts or jeans either) and splurging at a hotel restaurant. The view of the bay from a rooftop establishment at dusk, when city lights start to twinkle, is reliably breathtaking.Best Restaurants in Acapulco
ARTICLEShopping in Acapulco , more commonly known as AFA-ACA, is a one-stop department store where you'll find carved wooden masks, folk art, jewelry, furniture, onyx chessboards, pottery, luggage and other items. Quality varies, from cheap mass-produced souvenirs to fine craftsmanship. It's just off Boulevard Costera Miguel Alemán at Avenida Horatio Nelson (near the Baby'O disco).Shopping in Acapulco
ARTICLEAcapulco Beaches Although Acapulco Bay is anchored by a commercial port at one end and a naval base at the other, there's still plenty of room in between for a swath of sand broken only by a few rock outcroppings. More secluded beaches stretch northwest of the bay along the Pacific coastline. Keep in mind that all beaches in Mexico are federally owned property and therefore public, even stretches that may seem private because they are in front of a big hotel.Acapulco Beaches
ARTICLEAcapulco Sightseeing Acapulco's vacation sights are scenic, not historic. Brightly decorated calandrias (horse-drawn carriages) regularly parade along Costera Miguel Alemán, and this is a leisurely way to tour this wide bayfront boulevard lined with beaches, hotels and local restaurants. Rates for a 20- to 30-minute ride vary; confirm the cost per person with the carriage operator before setting off.Acapulco Sightseeing
ARTICLEAcapulco Outdoor Recreation Deep-sea fishing for marlin, tuna, sailfish, dorado, roosterfish and red snapper is rewarding all year, although December through May is the peak season. There's also freshwater fishing in Tres Palos Lagoon and Coyuca Lagoon. Small boats can be rented, with catfish one of the most frequent catches. Favored places to go for inland river fishing are along the Río Papagayo, east of the city just beyond Tres Palos Lagoon, and the Río Coyuca, just beyond Coyuca Lagoon and west of Pie de la Cuesta beach.Acapulco Outdoor Recreation
