| Acapulco Bay is one
continuous beach with several names, Icacos, Condesa,
Hornos and Hornitos. All are teeming with colorful
activities including vendors, watersports and countless
eateries. Caleta and Caletilla in Old Acapulco are favored
by families. The Bay of Puerto Marques is surprisingly
calm considering that the waves at Revolcadero, around the
corner, are too dangerous for most swimmers.
