Morning light strips across Acapulco Bay as the minivan drops you at the pier and the island’s reef comes into view—a low crescent of black volcanic rock fringed with green. The water here is clear and warm; paddleboards slice the surface while snorkelers drift, face down, watching parrotfish and schools of sergeant majors flick through coral heads. The day usually includes about 90 minutes of guided snorkeling around Isla La Roqueta and time to relax at Caleta Beach with a cooked lunch.
