Manialtepec is a coastal lagoon fringed by mangroves, about 16 km west of the airport. The drive is simple: it follows Federal Highway 200 west from the airport, away from the town, through farmland and low hills on the road towards Pinotepa Nacional. The highway runs along the northern shore of the lagoon, and the small restaurants and jetties where boat trips start are right next to the road.
The lagoon is known for boat trips through the mangrove channels, where herons, pelicans, ospreys and many other water birds can be seen, especially in the early morning. On dark nights, outings are also made to see the bioluminescent plankton that glows in the water at certain times of the year. Drop-offs are made at the jetties along the highway, and the lagoon is separated from the ocean by a sandbar, with a beach on the far side reached by boat.
Public transport: No official public transport connection from the airport to Manialtepec Lagoon is published by the airport operator.
