6 March 2025 | Author/Destination: North America / Nordamerika | Rubric: General Reading Time: 6 minutes The Gulf of Mexico (Spanish: Golfo de México) is an oceanic basin and a marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean, mostly surrounded by the North American continent. It is bounded on the northeast, north, and northwest by the Gulf Coast of the United States; on the southwest and south by the Mexican states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo; and on the southeast by Cuba. The coastal areas along the Southern U.S. states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, which border the Gulf on the north, are occasionally referred to as the “Third Coast” of the United States (in addition to its Atlantic and Pacific coasts), but more often as “the Gulf Coast”. read more…Dakar in Senegal
