Gay Acapulco

Gay Life in Acapulco, Day and Night

Acapulco has been a welcoming place for gays for many years. The main daylight locale is on the beach at Condesa. In the neighborhood you will find a couple of bed and breakfasts that cater specifically to gays. And in the evening, several nearby "antros" (read, "nightspots") welcome gays, both singles and couples. The following places specifically offer fun and entertainment for anyone who cares to show up. Usually the party starts late in the evening, like almost all the lively nightspots in Acapulco.

Gay Bars and Discos

For information on specific places, go here. Among them are Cabaretito Beach Acapulco, which is not a beach, but rather a dance club. It's neighbor is Picante, also a festive gay bar. One group operates three different clubs, all fairly close to each other. They are Demas, Acapulco's most active and welcoming gay bar, Pink, and Moons. Relax offers video-bar dancing. Nearby is Zoom, which offers entertainment as well as food, drink and dancing. Prince, which is on the Costera roughly across from the Playa Suites, is more of a late-night hangout. Ibiza, on the Costera, welcomes everyone, gays and straights alike.

Acapulco's Gay Beach

Acapulco's gay beach spot is located in front of the Morro (the big rocky outgrowth near the shore) on Condesa Beach roughly in front of Paradise and the bungee jump.
