Article Acapulco´s beaches

There is nearly eight kilometers long beach in the bay of Acapulco. But its character, however, is quite different in the western and eastern side of the bay. We start at the west end, where is the rock hugged by famous statue of Siren. On the horizon you can see the hotel's skyline of eastern part of the bay framed by mountains.

The western part of the beach Hornos is full of fishing boats and the water has a bit fishy smell. So it is better to wait with swimming and continue to the east.

If you are lucky, you can watch the local fishermen during fishing out.

The eastern part of the beach Hornos is already without fishermen, so it's a little less interesting here, but swimming is much better.

After nearly two kilometers of uninterrupted beach there is a small rocky reef and gigantic Mexican flag is fluttering nearby on the mast. This place is popular mainly with locals, so it's quite crowded.

Behind the mast with a Mexican flag starts the hotel zone. We slowly approach quite photogenic rock island Morro.

Isle of El Morro is an ideal destination for swimmers and climbers and makes also nice scenery of the beach.

Directly opposite the Isle of Morro begins Condesa beach with its lazed rocks.

Right in the middle of the bay there is a beach Condesa, probably the most photogenic part of beaches in Acapulco's bay. The scenery is only spoiled by the surrounding giant hotels.

The entire southeastern part of the bay is occupied by nearly endless beach Icacos. You will be surprised that it is almost deserted even though it is surrounded by oversized hotels.

The very south of the bay is occupied by naval base. The most beautiful views are then from the road leading over mountains to Puerto Marquez, where is definitely nicer atmosphere than here.
