Laguna de Coyuca
A freshwater lagoon behind the Pie de la Cuesta sandbar, lined with mangroves. Boat tours offer birdwatching, and it was a filming location for *Rambo: First Blood Part II*.
Coyuca Lagoon stretches about 10 kilometers, surrounded by mangroves and coconut palms. It is home to herons, pelicans, and other waterbirds, and it features a small island known as Bird Island as well as floating restaurants. Visitors can charter a boat from the pier on the Pie de la Cuesta side for a tour of the lake, which takes about 1 to 2 hours, or they can paddle a kayak or go waterskiing. The lake's sunset views are equally beautiful in the evening. The lagoon was one of the filming locations for *Rambo: First Blood Part II*. It is most convenient to visit alongside Pie de la Cuesta Beach.
