Answer 2

I am an American living in the state of Veracru mexico.  I have wondered the same thing, have looked for answers before..unsucessfully.  Looked again today and found the article listed below.  Beach is marshy, land is super dry and hot and unsuitable for cities.  Coastline is site of many oil wells.  Come see us here in Veracruz...miles and miles of wild, great beaches.
