I have sat on this beach over 100 times and always enjoyed the people watching and friendly staff that surrounds the many restaurants located here.

This beach is not recommended during the holidays (christmas, march break, etc.) because this beach is absolutely disgusting during busy times. People leave garbage everywhere and the ocean is one big dump. Vendors walk buy you selling memorabilia every 30 seconds. During not so busy times it is much nicer. Water-sports such as jet-skiing, banana boating, water skiing, and parasailing... More

Acapulco beaches are great. Must take care if you are not a good swimmer because of high surf nad undertow. Eating places there expensive and not so nice.

This is the gay beach in Acapulco. It is very nice and attracts many tourists from Canada, and Mexico City. It is located next to Betos restaurant. Ask for Juan and Marisol. They have taken care of me for 15 years. They watch over your personals, etc.

This is a busy area, with lots of peddlers. The waves can be quite strong at times. I saw a lady almost drown in front of the Crowne. Her husband couldn't fight the undertow to help her, and two locals pulled her out.

Playa Condesa is right in the middle of all the action of the surrounding areas. The weekends on this particular beach tend to be very crowded but as long as you get down there by 11am you should have no trouble getting a spot under a shaded canopy or Palapa. This is a good location for watersports Banana boats, Wave... More
