Playa Majahua, Coastal beach in Puerto Marqués Bay, Acapulco, Mexico
Playa Majahua is a sheltered beach within Puerto Marqués Bay, combining calm waters with dense jungle vegetation along the shoreline. The bay configuration protects this area from strong wave action, creating a natural harbor-like setting.
The beach was long a quiet fishing ground before the development of the Acapulco Diamante district brought increased tourism in recent decades. This transformation continues to shape how the place looks and functions today.
The small fishing village around the shore maintains traditional ways of life, with locals going about daily routines tied to the sea and seasonal rhythms.
The beach is most easily reached via roads through the Acapulco Diamante area and offers parking along with basic facilities such as showers. Weekend visits tend to be busier than weekday visits, especially during local holiday periods.
The underwater environment here remains relatively intact, with coral formations and local fish species thriving in the calm waters. Snorkelers can observe these ecosystems directly from shore without needing to swim far.

Guerrero brings together Pacific coastline, colonial towns, and archaeological sites from pre-Hispanic civilizations. The landscape ranges from sandy beaches and offshore islands to cave systems and waterfalls in the mountainous interior of the Sierra Madre del Sur. Taxco displays baroque churches and silver mining heritage, while Acapulco combines modern resort areas with historical fortifications. The region preserves traces of different eras: Tehuacalco and Teopantecuanitlan document indigenous settlements, Santa Prisca Church showcases eighteenth-century colonial architecture, and Fort San Diego recalls the defensive structures of the colonial period. Natural spaces such as Cacahuamilpa Caves, the botanical garden in Acapulco, and remote beaches near Troncones or Barra de Potosí offer contrast to the cultural sites. The cliffs at La Quebrada and the bays around Zihuatanejo rank among the better-known coastal points, while smaller places like Ixcateopan present local history and rural life.
