Revolcadero Beach, often referred to as Playa Revolcadero, is a vacation hotspot in Acapulco, Mexico. The beach is known for its breathtaking natural beauty and its appeal to both domestic and international tourists. Renowned for its wide stretch of golden sand lined with palm trees, the beach offers a picturesque landscape that's perfect for relaxation. Adding to its charm, just a few meters inland from the beach, there's a sizable tropical lagoon surrounded by luxury hotels and condominiums.
Aside from its natural beauty, Revolcadero Beach is also recognized for its intense and continuous waves, making it a favorite spot for surfing enthusiasts. However, due to the strength of the waves, visitors are advised to exercise caution when swimming. Despite the potential for challenging waves, the water is generally calm, which allows beachgoers to enjoy their time on the beach safely.
In addition to surfing, Revolcadero Beach offers a range of other water sports. Another popular activity on the beach is horseback riding along its 4-kilometer stretch. Fishing is also a common pastime at this destination, with friendly locals often willing to share bait.
One of the main attractions of Revolcadero Beach is its variety of seafood restaurants. These establishments offer a range of food options, making it an excellent place to spend the day. However, it's worth noting that the food and rentals on Revolcadero Beach may be slightly more expensive than at other local beaches.
Despite its popularity, Revolcadero Beach tends to be less crowded than other beaches in the area. This is partly due to the fact that it is only frequented by authorized sellers, which contributes to a less bombarded experience compared to other beaches. Regardless of potential crowds, the expansive nature of the beach allows for ample space.
Located to the south of Acapulco Bay, between the bay and the airport, is Puerto Marqués. This area is also a popular beach destination and is known for its rustic charm. Despite recent real estate development, Puerto Marqués has managed to maintain its original beach character. The area is home to the exclusive Acapulco Diamante Resort and extensive residential developments. Puerto Marqués is becoming increasingly popular, thanks to the Punta Diamante development, which draws more visitors to the area. The main attractions of Puerto Marqués are its beaches and coastal restaurants, where visitors can savor delicious meals.
Getting to Revolcadero Beach and Puerto Marqués is relatively easy, with both destinations accessible by car. Notably, Hotel Villamar Princesa Suites is situated approximately 5 minutes away by car from Revolcadero Beach.
