Watersports
in Acapulco
Swimming: See our

Acapulco beaches
for the best places to swim.

Not a surfer myself, I am told that La Bonfil is the best place to surf
- read more on the
beaches page, and
please correct me if I am wrong.
Yachting:
You can rent yachts at "Club de Yates" at Caleta Beach. They also have
remote-controlled boats for kids (and adults).

Condesa Beach and
ask anyone about the scuba diving tours.

There is a lagoon at Pie de la Cuesta (a beach to the west) where you
can rent boats and skis.
Fishing:
Try the lagoon at Pie de la Cuesta
Parasailing:
Look up in the sky while at Icacos or Condesa Beach - you can't miss
them. You should pay US$20, so (as with anything on the beach) be
prepared to bargain.

Runners are available for rent, also at Condesa or
Icacos Beach. You
will be offered one within 60 seconds of stepping foot on the beach. You

Gyms in Acapulco
Body and
Fitness Gym: If you are up for
a serious workout without air conditioning, go to one of the Body and
Fitness gyms. There IS another gym with air conditioning, but it is
ridiculously expensive and not at all worth the price, so I refuse to
mention
