Acapulco Beaches Devastated: Sea Swell Causes Havoc

Acapulco Beaches Battered by Unexpected Sea Swell Acapulco, Mexico – Unexpectedly strong waves crashed on the shores of Acapulco Diamante on June 3rd, 2025, causing significant damage to beachfront businesses in the Bonfil area. The sudden surge, described by locals as a "sea swell", overwhelmed restaurants and left many inoperable. "It happened so suddenly," said Marcela Evaristo, a restaurant owner, "one moment it was calm, and then these enormous waves started coming in." Evaristo recounted how the waves nearly swept away her family and destroyed her restaurant's furniture. Another restaurateur, Azael Chávez, reported the complete loss of her beachside seating area. The incident has prompted authorities to issue a warning for tourist areas in the state of Guerrero, urging caution due to the ongoing risk of high waves. While many businesses are working to repair the damage, they report a lack of support from authorities. The unexpected sea swell serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the ocean and the vulnerability of coastal communities.
