Arrecife Alacranes National Park (English: Scorpion Reef) is an island located in the Gulf of Mexico, or rather a reef surrounding five small islands. Many species of birds make their nests on these islands, turtles lay eggs here, and a large number of fish species like mackerel and sea bass live in the surrounding waters. Here you can visit a wrecked 15th-century ship, go diving or swimming, as well as just walk and enjoy the untouched nature, fresh air, and breathtaking views. Unfortunately, tourists are not allowed to collect any stones and shells for memory.
