Acapulco is a city and a port of the state of Guerrero on the Pacific Coast of Mexico that invites superlatives. It delivers an abundance of action packed attractions and activities to please almost any visitor and countless moments to remember. It is the city with the beautiful deep royal, sapphire, semicircle bay with a magnificent mountain-frame, which is almost entirely land locked, and located in a setting of great natural beauty. At the foot of the steep cliffs of the bay's southern end, becoming the coastal Avenida Miguel Aleman, also known as the Costera, is the heart of Acapulco's resort strip of luxury hotels, excellent beaches, cliff diving, parasailing, deep sea fishing, gambling casinos, nonstop nightlife, dancing, dining, and shopping. Acapulco began its transformation to that of a vacation destination in the 1920's when the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VIII, visited the bay on a fishing expedition. Soon after, American writers, European jet setters, Hollywood stars, and wealthy Mexicans, flocked to Acapulco for their vacations and honeymoons. 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.
