About this site
El Borre lies within the Arrecife El Rizo reef system off Anton Lizardo, on the Veracruz coast of the Gulf of Mexico south of the port city of Veracruz. This stretch of coastline forms part of the Sistema Arrecifal Veracruzano, a chain of reef patches typically reached by small boat from the fishing town of Anton Lizardo. Divers here have reported elkhorn, finger, staghorn, and greater star coral along with large flower coral, giving the site a mix of branching and massive coral structures. Atlantic sergeant major and Atlantic ghost crab have also been noted around the reef.
