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.
