Mexico boasts some of the best and beautiful beaches in the world–including those of Acapulco. Although you won't find white sand beaches in Acapulco, you will find miles of dreamy golden sand beach and tons of natural beauty. Some local and tourist favorite beaches are Playa Condesa, Playa Icacos, Barra Vieja, Pie de la Cuesta, Puerto Marques, Punta Diamonte and Playas Caleta y Caletilla. Each stunning beach has its own unique ambiance and views, so we suggest visiting more than one on your Acapulco getaway.

La Quebrada is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Acapulco, and has been since the 1930s! Translating to "ravine" in Spanish, La Quebrada has seen hundreds of spectacular show divers throughout the decades; however, it's not just for any cliff diver, you see. The twist on this cliff dive is that each diver must wait for the perfect wave before jumping to ensure the water is deep enough to avoid injury–talk about a nail-biter to watch! You can watch these thrilling divers perform insane dives from 40-78 feet high, daily, from a viewing platform or from your own table at La Perla restaurant's terrace, adjacent to the cliffs.

Discover Acapulco's past with a visit to the oldest structure in the city. Fort San Diego, one of the top historical monuments of Acapulco, was once the strongest fort guarding Mexico's Pacific Coast. First built to ward off pirate attacks in the early 1600s, then later used to protect the Manila galleons and eventually to withstand decades of military action (the Mexican War of Independance and the French Intervention in the 1860s), Fort San Diego will give you a unique take on the city's history. Explore this historical fort and take in the stunning views over the Acapulco bay. 

You've come to Cancun for a reason. Talk about making a splash, the Cancun Underwater Museum is the largest underwater museum on the planet.

You can even climb it, but be forewarned: there are a lot of stairs and it’s steep. However, there is a rope you can hang on to as you make your way to the top. It’s worth the trek because the view at the top of the jungle is incredible. Luckily, there is a hut right at the base where you can get refreshing drinks after your climb.

Mazatlan boasts several big-name beach resorts and has the second largest fishing fleet in Mexico.  On a daily basis, the majority of the seafood processed in the city is shrimp and tuna and is said to be some of the most scrumptious around due to the cool, clean waters surrounding the area.

Mazatlan's 19th century lighthouse began operating in mid-1879 and was considered the highest in the world, at the time.

Interestingly enough, due to the static nature of the structure, many mariners were left scratching their heads because it was often mistaken for a star. Now you can see this bright gem in the flesh. Although it’s no longer the highest lighthouse in the world, it’s still an impressive sight to see.

The Mazatlan Cultural Festival is an annual festival that rallies the best artists, dancers and musicians in the region. Each of these performers prepares months in advance to put on a fine showcase to the world.

The awe-inspiring performances leave spectators speechless and do a fine job demonstrating the grandeur of the city in a traditional operatic tradition. The festival takes place in October and is located in the heart of Old Mazatlan.

Once a dusty fishing village, Sayulita is now a sunny, boho-centric surf mecca, where the Sierra Madres tumble into glistening blue waves that kiss the shore.

Boutiques and local artisans abound along with natural beauty that calls you to shake off that stress and chill. Come visit Sayulita, an unforgettable, magical village by the cobalt sea.

It might seem a bit odd, but the Puerto Vallarta you see to today owes much of its roots to Hollywood. Here’s why: Before the all the excitement, thrills and swanky resorts, Puerto Vallarta was just a small fishing village. It didn’t offer much as a tourist spot, but it did have an aesthetic appeal because of its primitive, natural beauty, something that would look fantastic on film. Enter Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton and the famous filming in 1951 of “Night of the Iguana.” It also didn’t hurt that John Huston, the director, had a love for Mexico. Put all this together and Puerto Vallarta became a thriving spot for silver screen darlings to vacay, as well as all the other gente of the world.

Before the national beverage of Mexico became a party fave for Spring Breakers, the rich heritage of tequila could be traced back to the ancient Mayans. Back then, tequila’s milky-like predecessor was used to fuel their most sacred of ceremonies. Lucky for those who live in the region (and like to party), Puerto Vallarta has the ideal climate for the blue agave plant, so it’s not surprising that the region is considered to be the birth place of tequila. With such a rich, tequila-drenched heritage, Puerto Vallarta attracts visitors who are psyched to tour the farms and distilleries, from which the cherished drink of Mexico is derived. Here's to you.

Rappel into a beautiful cenote to snorkel along the longest underground river system in the Yucatan Peninsula, fly over the canopy on thrilling zip lines, or take the helm of a 4x4 Mercedes Benz truck to see the jungle from the ground.

Gotta love those mystical Mayans. They continue to be one of the most awe-inspiring cultures from the ancient world. One of the most iconic examples of these mysterious people is Tulum, a pre-Columbian city that was the major port for Coba between the 13th and 15th centuries, where one of the top trades was, of all things, obsidian–volcanic glass. Grab your walking shoes and get ready to meander around 60 well-preserved structures that are cloistered behind a big stone wall. After you’ve learned about all the enigmatic deities in their culture, marveled at how they constructed such an intricate, sturdy maze, take the staircase down to the sugar-white, sandy beach hugged by turquoise waves and cool off.

More Mayan goodness can be found at these spots. Back in the day (and we’re talking waaay back), Xcaret was once a Mayan port for departures to Cozumel. Since then, it’s evolved into a one-stop shop for exploring the ecology and culture of this unique area with 40 natural attractions: a butterfly pavilion, a beautiful coral reef aquarium, along with a funky cone-shaped Mayan cemetery. Afterwards, you can chill at the beach, swim with dolphins–or even sharks. Xel-ha, known as “the place where water is born,” is an incredible natural aquarium where the ocean and freshwater currents combine to create springs and underground rivers. While it may not be the exact birthplace of water, you'll seriously dig snorkeling and splashing through this rockin’ ecosystem of exotic birds, marine life and other animals. Don’t miss Sea Trek, where with the help of a specialized helmet, you can walk (and breathe) under water on the seabed–without any previous training–and ogle all the ocean eye candy.

These are not just ordinary turtles. They’re endangered green sea turtles. They can weigh up to 700 pounds and live until they’re 80. Their favorite thing to eat is sea grass and it’s found all over the bottom of the ocean floor. And they spend a good long time chowing down, so you can swim up and get a good look at them. Other passersby, like barracudas and sting rays, can be seen after you’ve taken the plunge, so bring your underwater camera and snag some fabulous photos.

Beachin' with the kiddos in Mexico is always a blast, but sometimes with their limited attention spans, you might need some help. Enter, shipwrecks– sunken treasures and mysteries of the deep at the CEDAM Subaquatic Museum. Here, your munchkins can become engrossed in artifacts recovered from ship wrecks around the area that were discovered by early pioneers of diving, along with awesome relics from pirates, wenches and marine warfare.
