Boulevard, of Acapulco.
The
city is best known as one of
Mexico’s oldest and most well-known
beach resorts, which came into
prominence by the 1950s as a getaway
for Hollywood stars and
millionaires. Acapulco’s main
attraction is its nightlife, and has
been for many decades. Nightclubs
change names and owners frequently.
Informal lobby or poolside cocktail
bars often offer free live
entertainment. In addition, there is
the beach bar zone, where younger
crowds go. These are located along
the Costera road, face the ocean and
feature techno or alternative rock.

Fiesta Americana and Continental

open earlier and have more informal
dress. There is also a bungee jump
in this area as well.
