Icacos Beach, Acapulco

Icacos beach is one of the most famous and crowded beaches in the port of Acapulco, Guerrero, in southern Mexico. It is located northeast of the bay of Acapulco within the tourist area called Acapulco Dorado. It extends almost parallel to the Avenida Costera Miguel Alemán, from the Hotel El Presidente building to the Eighth Naval Region, crossing the Club Deportivo, Costa Azul and Icacos subdivisions of the city. It is approximately 2060 m long and is the longest beach in Acapulco Bay. The beach is located in an area that has been commercially exploited with large and prestigious hotels, luxury condominium towers, shopping malls, an infinity of restaurants and bars, discotheques, as well as a modern water park.

Icacos has waters of varied swell, which can range from very high to gentle thanks to the protection provided by the Cerro El Guitarrón, an arm of the bay. When the beach obeys these variable conditions, it is ideal for the practice of different water sports. Regularly, Icacos has accessible waves for people of all ages.
