Mexico Vacations Weblog / » Tourism in Mexico: Acapulco ChoiceAs one of the most vibrant and action filled cities in the world, Acapulco is legendary for its sizzling nightlife, stunning golden beaches, first class hotels in Acapulco (see small hotels Mexico), gourmet restaurants, exciting watersports and the breathtaking vista of Acapulco Bay.
When you hear the name Acapulco, you immediately think of leisure and fun. Its location on the Pacific Coast of Mexico provides the perfect year round tropical climate for all kinds of day or night time activities. Plus, the rare mix of sandy beaches, Sierra Madre Mountains, tropical jungles and lagoons. The Mexican culture and tradition blend together to form a unique experience for the traveler. The world renown divers of La Quebrada, who dive from 136 foot rock cliffs into the crashing surf, have become unforgettable legends of the city. They dive into an extremely narrow inlet where incoming waves enter and dash over the craggy rocks. The explicit timing of their dives is critical and must be perfectly executed to coincide with incoming waves. The shows begin in the early afternoon and continue into the evening when the divers continue to bedazzle visitors by diving with lit torches. The sport fishing in Acapulco, especially sailfish, is rated as incomparable. Enthusiasts will also appreciate the marlin (black, blue, white and striped) as well as shark, dorado (or mahi-mahi) and yellowfin tuna. The snorkeling and scuba diving here is first rate (See Scuba diving in Ixtapa) . You can enjoy an array of underwater adventure including sunken ships, walls, sea mountains, shallow & calm dives, caves and rocky formations. The underwater fantasy thrives among both sandy and rock bottoms with all kinds of creatures including small coral formations, sea horses, sea stars, trumpet fishes, jacks, mackerel, whale sharks and mantarrays depending on water conditions and the time of year. Other sports available are tennis, golf, bowling, beach volleyball, soccer, squash and fronton courts, sailing, wind surfing and jet skiing. Not far from the city, Coyuca Lagoon features boat tours, some truly good water skiing, and unusual and exotic wildlife. Good freshwater fishing many visitors to this beautiful area. Movie production has also been quite enamoured by the aura of this gorgeous scenic area. Movies like Rambo II were partially shot here as well as some early Johnny Weismueller Tarzan movies, and a few scenes from the famous African Queen.
