Acapulco has very relaxing beaches with fine sand and clear waters. This make it ideal for swimming, sun-bathing, or walking. The nightlife scene displays many large nightclubs which are very cozy. They are often filled with beautiful people having a good time on the dance floors until the wee hours of the morning. Snorkeling and scuba diving are very exciting activities at the Acapulco Bay, with very beautiful coral reefs and colorful marine life. Las Brisas, Camino Real, and the Emporio are first rate hotels in this city. Acapulco is a true gem of Mexico. If you are looking for a great time at the beach, Acapulco is definitely the place to be!

Barefoot Cay has the perfect weather for relaxation, after being hammered all day, all week. Just because this place invites all disinclination to do something, do not dare to miss snorkeling or scuba diving in the Barefoot Cay. The private cay has beautiful coral reefs and marine life, which makes it ideal for these activities. And, don't forget to experience the luxurious one-bedroom bungalows in the beachfront. This houses have excellent amenities such as full kitchens, bathrooms, showers, and wicker furniture. There are two-bedroom villas as well which have spacious covered decks which are overlooking the beautiful sea. Strictly for the lazyheads at heart.

The Ranguana Lodge has very fine white sand which will dissolve your stress into its clear waters. You can go sportfishing in the sea, where you can fish for tuna, kingfish, barracuda, and snook. Ranguana has three stilted air-conditioned beachfront cabanas which are furnished. The two other units are more nature-inspired, and even more spacious, which consist of hardwood floors, kitchenettes, and cozy rooms. Both cabanas have decks and hammocks for relaxation.

It is a must to go for a walk along the main road which is a three-foot-wide sidewalk. The main road leads to the delightful town. Ranguana is definitely the best beach in Belize.

The current was very strong - great if you know where you are going and want to get there fast. Bad if you're a new-again diver and have never seen the route before. I just kept a close eye on the dive master.

In my three dives I saw wiggling fish [more than just a general observation - it was two particular fish and it was probably a communication behavior], zig-zag gaping clams [a personal favorite of mine], spiraling yellow 'Christmas tree' coral filtering mouths pull in quickly to their rock like base when I passed over, a large polka dot fish that had small polka dots in the large polka dots, zig-zag topped fish, one highly venomous [making rattle snakes seem like wimps] sea snake, shrimp smaller than a pea. Some fish were super bright; others were highly camouflaged. All were very interesting.
