| Acapulco |
 For thousands of annual visitors, Acapulco is the ideal holiday resort. This Pacific resort is a Mecca for those who love swimming, shopping, and enjoying the nightlife. Acapulco Bay, one of the world's best natural harbors, is the city's centerpiece. The weather is Acapulco's major draw--warm waters, almost constant sunshine, and year-round temperatures in the 80s.

Beach diversions come in all varieties at this amazing resort town. More
