Acapulco (Officially: Acapulco de Juárez) is a city and major sea port in the state of Guerrero on the Pacific coast of Mexico, 300 km (190 miles) southwest from Mexico City, at 16.85° N 99.92° W. Acapulco is located on a deep, semi-circular bay. Many consider it to be one of the best harbours on the Pacific coast of Mexico, and it is a port of call for shipping lines running between Panama and San Francisco, California, USA. In 2003 the estimated population was 638,000 people.

The town is built on a narrow strip of low land, scarcely half a mile wide, between the shore line and the lofty mountains that encircle the bay. There is great natural beauty in the surroundings, mountains render the access to the town, though not difficult to access particularly since the construction of a 2-km-long tunnel to the waterfront from the hinterland in the 1990s. An earlier effort to admit the cooling sea breezes by cutting through the mountains a passage called the Abra de San Nicolas had some beneficial effect.

For many years Acapulco has been a popular resort for holiday makers. The city has had its star-spangled times, prompting non other than Old Blue Eyes Frank Sinatra to give the place a mention in his all time classic Come Fly With Me.

Modern Acapulco still has a great appeal. The vast majority of the tourists now tend to come from the rest of Mexico but several other foreign nationals make apperances in the numerous bars and clubs dotted around the bay come sun down.

In recent years, Acapulco has made some ground on Cancun for Spring Break`s most popular resort destinations. Acapulco offers a relatively unknown experience and a larger international student crowd than Cancun.
