Best of three little known beaches in Acapulco
Among the activities offered by Acapulco's beaches are horseback riding, ATV rentals, boat rides, and the traditional banana boat.
With hundreds of Mexicans on vacation, the beautiful port of Acapulco has become over the years one of the favorite destinations for thousands of tourists. Between the salty breeze, the fine sand and the warmth of the coast, families from all over the country choose to enjoy the last days of the year on the enigmatic beaches of one of the most popular destinations in the country.
If there is something that characterizes this famous coast is precisely its lively nightlife and breathtaking scenery, factors that shine even more during the holiday season. The tourism sector represents a great economic contribution to the state of Guerrero, so year after year the authorities organize events to attract tourists and provide the locals with a worthy celebration.
Bonfil Beach
Located in the diamond zone of the port, warm and with a moderate to intense swell is Bonfil Beach. With a length of 300 meters, the coast offers hundreds of tourists activities such as horseback riding, massages and even the release of turtles into the open sea. With small pools, showers and a great variety of food, this beach is characterized by the large number of restaurants that have been established in the place and have provided their services for years to all those who seek to spend a pleasant time.
At nightfall it is common to see people walking along the seashore, lighting and sending the traditional cantoya balloons with their deepest wishes and desires. Bonfil is also recognized among locals and tourists for having one of the best views of the bay, away from the entire coastal area of Acapulco where it is more common for people to crowd. It is also one of the best options for surfing because the waves tend to be intense.
