Introduction to Pie de la Cuesta
Pacific Coast, Guerrero, Mexico
Information about the small beach village
of Pie de la Cuesta, which located on Pacific Coast
of Mexico, just northwest of Acapulco.
Pie de la Cuesta is a small, quiet village on a narrow 2 kilometer
strip of empty beaches between the ocean
and a fresh weather lagoon, approximately
15 kilometers northwest of Acapulco. The strip of land
extends for 11 miles.
The name of the lagoon is Laguna de Coyuca.
Swimming in the ocean is not recommended
at Pie de la Cuesta, because waves can be
very powerful. Swimmers usually spend their time
in the lagoon, which has several islets and
many birds. Sailing, waterskiing,windsurfing,
and kayaking are popular activities in the lagoon.
Other favorite activities are horseback
riding and donkey riding on the beach, reading and relaxing
in shaded hammocks, and walks on the beach.
There is a the Mexican Air Force military base in this area.
Pie de la Cuesta is also known as "sunset beach" because
of its unobstructed views of the sea and the horizon.
