Alta Mar Buses run from Pacific Coast Oaxaca along Route 200 north and pass several interesting lagoons and beaches, among them, ten miles west of Puerto Escondido, a reserve called the Manialtepec Lagoon. At Manialtepec you find restaurants, boat tours through the mangroves, kayaking, and a barrier beach.

Further north. beyond the town of Rio Grande, find the road to the Pastoria and Chacahua Lagoons. This huge area of mangroves offers bird watching boat tours, a crocodile farm for the protection of the lagoon crocs, and a barrier beach with rustic lodging. Wintering birds that roost on the islands in Chacahua Lagoon include the stork and the Platalea ajaja, the Roseate Spoonbill.

Further north on route 200, beyond San Jose del Progresso, the coast highway heads inland into the mountain towards the town of Pinotepa National.
This is not a scenic road as views of the ocean are rare. The villages yield some interesting churches but otherwise the road to Acapulco is long and bland.
The road reaches Acapulco near the airport and continues to the resort beaches.

Beyond Acapulco the coast road continues north. Local buses reach Pie de la Cuesta, about six miles north, a good place to find quiet lodging, camping, and access by frequent bus to the city and beaches of Acapulco.

lodging and camping on the beach. Buses run
