La Quebrada cliff divers
Acapulco’s most famous show: divers leap about 35 meters from the cliffs into a narrow ocean inlet. Watch it from the viewing platform, ideally at the evening dives.
Our favorite spots
Exploring Acapulco
Staying a few extra days? Here are some of the things we love doing in Acapulco.
Sunset at Pie de la Cuesta
A wide, wild beach just north of the city, with the calm Laguna de Coyuca behind it. Grab a hammock, a coconut and watch one of the best sunsets on the coast.
Isla La Roqueta
A short boat ride from Caleta beach takes you to this little island with calm water for swimming and snorkeling.
Pescado a la talla
The local classic: fish grilled with chili paste, eaten with your toes in the sand. Try it at Barra Vieja or Puerto Marqués.
Old Acapulco
Stroll around the zócalo and the cathedral, then visit the Fuerte de San Diego, a star-shaped fort with a museum about Acapulco’s history as a port on the Pacific trade route.
Capilla de la Paz
Our wedding chapel sits high above Las Brisas, with a giant cross and a sweeping view over the whole bay. Come early on the day and enjoy the view!
Where to eat
For really good tacos, don’t miss Los Tarascos!
More things to do
Jardín Secreto
A temazcal (traditional Mexican steam bath) and restaurant.
Súbete al Mar
Stand-up paddle boarding on the bay.
A yacht trip
See Acapulco Bay from the water.
Sunset Bar at Las Brisas
Watch the sun go down over the bay, right at our wedding hotel.
Nothing beats a day at the beach!
When in doubt: a cold coconut and a sunset.
