Pie de la Cuesta

Resort town Pie de la Cuesta is known for its beach of the same name, with sunset views over the Pacific and rustic cantinas serving mezcal cocktails and barbecued red snapper. Across the coastal strip, Coyuca Lagoon is popular for waterskiing and boat trips to see birds, iguanas, and crocodiles on Montosa Island. Small boutiques sell swimwear and folk souvenirs like carvings of animal spirits.
