27km/17mi south of Tapachula lies the small harbour town of Puerto Madero, a popular holiday resort. The Guatemalan frontier can be crossed at either Puente Talismán or Ciudad Hidalgo, 18km/11mi and 20km/12.4mi beyond Tapachula respectively.

The railway line from Salina Cruz via Tehuantepec to Guatemala runs roughly parallel with the coast road.
