Acapulco
Las Brisas Acapulco
Mexico's most popular and beautiful seaside resorts (on three sides of its bay the towering Sierra Madre del Sur mountains reach right up to the shoreline), Acapulco enjoys a romantic and glorious history. The magical beaches of soft golden sand, blue-colored warm waves, and exotic swaying palm trees, are of course one of the main attractions of Acapulco. Visitors can take their pick, from the dazzling beaches behind the luxury hotels, the primitive out of the way beach at "Barra Vieja" or the fabulous sunsets at "Pie de la Cuesta" beach. Just about any watersport under the sun is available at the beaches and water skiing was virtually invented here!
The fresh water lagoons at "Coyuca" or "Tres Palos", with water as smooth as a mirror, are ideal for water skiing. Wealthy Mexicans, American writers, Hollywood Stars and European jet-setters soon flocked to Acapulco. It was here that Elizabeth Taylor married Mike Todd, John F. Kennedy and Brigitte Bardot honeymooned, and Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Harry Belafonte and Baron de Rothschild became regulars. Today, Acapulco is one of the most exciting places in the world attracting those who love to play all day and stay up all night!
