About LGBTQ+ Acapulco
Same-sex marriage is legal across Mexico. Acapulco, the storied Pacific resort city, has been a welcoming gay destination for decades.
Playa Condesa is the daily gathering point, and its rocky east end, from the stretch called Las Piedras to the end of the beach, is the gay beach.
