A small, wooded island just off Acapulco's peninsula, with a calm, clear beach for swimming and snorkelling, a lighthouse walk and seafood restaurants. Glass-bottom boats from Caleta beach take about 15 minutes, and pass the underwater bronze statue of the Virgin of Guadalupe on the way.


It's a quieter escape from the busy city beaches. Check your government's current travel advice before visiting Acapulco.
