Cancuncito is a small sandy island located just past the well-known Isla de Sacrificios (Island of Sacrifices), famous for its lighthouse, which can be seen from the coast of Veracruz and the surrounding area.

According to visiting tourists, this small island is one of the most beautiful beaches in Veracruz, as the water is shallow around it, and in addition to swimming, you can enjoy activities such as scuba diving and kayaking.

To get there, you need to go to the Veracruz Aquarium area and look for the fishing pier. There, you can inquire with one of the boat service providers, who generally offer trips to Cancuncito.

Prices are generally around $300 pesos ($15 USD), although this also depends on the individual boat operators' charges.

Gran Café de la Parroquia is a Mexican restaurant and café, a landmark in the port of Veracruz, Veracruz, Mexico, founded in 1808 by brothers Juan and Martín Urdapilleta. It is famous for its traditions, family atmosphere, and its café lechero. We recommend you to go there for an amazing breakfast/lunch. P.S., when you order a Lechero they will serve you just black coffee. When you are ready for steamed milk, you have to tap the side of your glass with a small spoon.

Undoubtedly, one of the most traditional sites in Veracruz. You can not visit Veracruz and not sit in one of Los Portales's cafes, restaurants or bars and enjoy a refreshing drink and a typical dish de Jarochos. The place is a meeting place for locals and tourists, so the atmosphere is always lively.

You can also enjoy the music of a classical marimba or even a good danzón when dusk begins. Night time is especially the time to go.
