Pacific Coast of Mexico

The Pacific Coast of Mexico stretches along the coasts of western Mexico at the Pacific Ocean and its Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez).

On the western Baja California Peninsula coast, it extends from the border with the United States at Tijuana in Baja California state, south to the tip of the Baja California Peninsula at Cabo San Lucas in Baja California Sur state. On the peninsula's eastern coast it extends from the head of the Gulf of California to Cabo San Lucas.

Along Mexico's western mainland its Pacific Coast extends from the head of the eastern Gulf of California near the Colorado River Delta in Sonora state to south of the gulf to the open Pacific, and then further south to the border with Guatemala in Chiapas state near Tapachula.

Major Pacific coastal cities include Tijuana, Ensenada, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco, and Salina Cruz.

Major ports along the Pacific Coast of Mexico included the Port of Ensenada, Port of Lazero Cardenas, and the Port of Chiapas.

By the 8th century in the Acapulco Bay area, there was a small culture first be dominated by the Olmecs, then the Teotihuacan, the Maya, and in 1486 by the Aztec Empire.
