Acapulco, in the state of Guerrero, is a Pacific bay with a long history as a beach destination for Mexicans and foreigners, with the Costera strip, La Roqueta island and viewpoints over the bay. It is also a city that was damaged by Hurricane Otis in October 2023. This page does not aim to encourage you to go: it aims to tell you clearly what the official sources say so you can decide with the facts.
The scene: what we know and what we do not
We have not verified any swinger club, bar or event in Acapulco. Given the current official advice, we neither recommend nor list venues: there is no primary source that would let us verify them and, in addition, the security context calls for caution. We prefer not to push anyone toward a destination without information.
Safety according to official advice
This is the key point. The FCDO (United Kingdom) advises against all but essential travel to the city of Acapulco, in connection with the damage caused by Hurricane Otis in 2023, and notes that the security situation is unpredictable. Its warnings page also advises against all but essential travel to the whole state of Guerrero, except Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa when reached by air. The same advice says that travelling against it may invalidate your travel insurance. If you still plan to travel, read your own government's advice, speak to your insurer before booking and check the hurricane season, which normally runs from June to November.
The golden rule is the same in any city: consent from both partners, an exit plan agreed before you go out and someone who knows where you are. If you meet strangers from apps, meet first in a busy public place, share your location and never accept transport you did not book yourself.
Health and paperwork
For tourist entry the FCDO says UK citizens do not need a visa, that the passport must be valid for the whole stay and that the Mexican authorities recommend at least 180 days of validity. Check the requirements for your own nationality. On health, the FCDO recommends drinking only boiled or bottled water, avoiding ice and checking vaccines in advance; the US CDC places Mexico at level 1 for health notices and recommends, among others, hepatitis A, hepatitis B and typhoid for most travellers, and mentions mpox vaccination for adults expecting new sexual contact or contact tied to large events. Use condoms and limit alcohol, as the CDC advises. Dial 911 for emergencies.
Practical tips
Before booking, read your government's advice and confirm cover with your insurer; avoid going out at night in quiet areas; do not use unlicensed taxis; follow evacuation orders if a hurricane threatens.
If you prefer a safety net, combine the city with accommodation and events that have an official website and a clear policy, and read our safe-night guide for Mexico and the Mexico City couples page.
