Stretching along the Golden Zone (Zona Dorada) of Acapulco, Playa Icacos is the city’s longest and one of its most vibrant beaches. With golden sand, gentle waves, and a buzzing atmosphere, Icacos Beach is a favorite among locals, families, and international travelers.

During the mid-20th century, Acapulco became an international hotspot, attracting Hollywood stars and jet-set travelers. Icacos Beach was at the center of this golden era, lined with luxury hotels, nightclubs, and restaurants.
