Set in the downward slope of the mountains, and opening to a long flat stretch of open-ocean beaches, the Diamante Area is surrounded by pounding surf and beautiful beaches, and is home to Acapulco's most posh hotels and residential developments.

Old Acapulco

Just south of Acapulco Bay, this is the traditional heart of the city, noted for its bustling seaside promenade. You will also find the delightful zocalo, a pretty, tree-shaed plaza teeming with activity and El Fuerte de San Diego - an authentic fort-turned-museum built in 1615. Just up the hill is La Quebrada, where world-famous cliff divers performing their death-defying feats. And the center of the peninsula holds the Plaza de Toros, where bullfights are still frequently held.
