Beaches
Without a doubt, beaches are the foremost highlight of Acapulco. Start your beach exploration from Pie de la Cuesta, one of the most popular beaches here. It is located along Coyoca Lagoon and is dotted with many hotels and restaurants. The Further you go from its entrance, the more secluded it gets. Other popular beaches in Acapulco include notable names such as Playas Caleta, Playa Las Hamacas and Playa Puerto Marques.
La Quebrada Cliff Divers
Adventure lovers also visit Acapulco in abundance. One activity that remains on the top of the priority list of travelers is cliff diving at La Quebrada. The divers take a plunge in the waters from a 130-ft high cliff. The activity has been alluring visitors in heaps and bounds since 1934 and today you can enjoy multiple shows in a day, for which a minimal fee is also charged.
Trip to Taxco
Besides golden sand beaches, many visitors have a road trip to Taxco on their Acapulco itineraries. The city of Taxco is around three hours from the city and features a captivating colonial vibe. Most prominent highlights in the city include Santa Prisca Church and Plaza de la Borda. If a road trip to Taxco, or any other Mexican city, is on your mind, make sure you already have quality Mexican car insurance.

At the top of the museum, you will be welcomed by the breathtaking views of Acapulco Bay.
Apart from these highlights, you should also consider spending time at some of the most popular attractions in Acapulco such as XTASEA Zip Line, the Zocalo and Chapel of Peace.
