Pie de la Cuesta, Guerrero

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pie de la Cuesta is a small beach resort town in the Mexican state of Guerrero, approximately 5 miles north of Acapulco, and it is the location of a military base of the Mexican Air Force. It is a long streach of land bordered by rough seas on one side and a very calm lagoon on the other. Waterskiing can be done in the lagoon, as can trips to see the "island" on the lagoon where one can find crocodiles imported from Zihautanejo, another Mexican beach resort. The beach's somewhat rougher waves and remote location from the tourist center of Acapulco account for its lack of popularity among tourists, but the "closer-to-nature" atmosphere, much better prices, and many of the good small mom and pop resorts there make up for the amount of tourists it gets..
