Acapulco, a city of southern Mexico on the Pacific Ocean, is best known for its fine natural harbor surrounded by cliffs and promontories. A fashionable resort since the 1920's, Acapulco is honored as one of the most exciting cities of the world. It is primarily popular for its rocking and explosive nightlife, postcard beaches, unlimited water sports, some of the world's finest hotels, gourmet restaurants, deep-sea fishing, skin diving, and the breathtaking physical beauty of Acapulco Bay.

The massive nightclubs of the city are state-of-the-art temples of sensuality packed with beautiful people who are partying until dawn. Since the days of the Aztec empire, Acapulco's warm water bay and pristine beaches have been irresistible to most humans. The strategic advantage of the perfectly formed natural harbor of the city surrounded by cliffs and promontories were immediately realized by the Spanish that used it as their base to explore the Pacific. Acapulco was the only port in the New World authorized to receive Spanish galleons from the Philippines and China.

The fishing, especially sailfish, is legendary in Acapulco; in fact it becomes news when someone doesn't catch a fish on the irresistible beaches here. The exciting beauty of these beaches is difficult to compare with any other beaches around the globe. Though Acapulco has suffered frequent earthquake and hurricane damage, still it is a favorite destination for people who like to enjoy and have fun to the fullest.
