Playa Pie de La Cuesta

Playa Pie de la Cuesta is a Pacific Ocean beach with dark sand shores and strong waves that meet the waters of Coyuca Lagoon. The lagoon sits right next to the beach, creating a blend of ocean and saltwater environments in one location.

This coastal area developed from a traditional fishing settlement into a destination for visitors seeking an alternative to Acapulco's main beaches. The shift happened gradually as more travelers explored the region and new lodging and services appeared.

Local restaurants serve regional specialties like fish head soup and ceviche prepared with fresh catches from nearby fishermen. Food here reflects the daily rhythm of people who work the waters and ocean.

Swimming is recommended only for experienced swimmers due to strong currents, while the nearby lagoon offers safer water activities. Check the conditions before entering the water, and stay aware of your surroundings.

During rainy seasons, Pacific waves and lagoon waters merge naturally at this beach in a rare occurrence. This mixing of two water bodies in one location draws attention from people curious about how coastal areas change.
