Playa Tlacopanocha, Coastal beach in Acapulco Traditional, Mexico.
The sandy shoreline of Playa Tlacopanocha extends for 100 meters along the central port area of Acapulco, next to the main boardwalk.
The beach name originated from a wooden currency called tlaco and panocha, a sweet treat that merchants traded in the area centuries ago.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices at Playa Tlacopanocha, where numerous fishing boats and fresh catches are displayed throughout the day.
The beach location near Plaza Alvarez offers convenient access through both the Avenida Costera Miguel Aleman and maritime transportation options.
General Vicente Guerrero was captured at this beach after boarding the ship El Colombo, following a betrayal motivated by a 50,000 peso reward.
