Mexico » Maps and Geography

The United Mexican States or Mexico borders the United States to the north, the North Pacific Ocean on the west, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico on the east, and Belize and Guatemala on the southeast. Geographically it is usually considered part of North America (Spanish: North america) due to the climate it shares with the southern United States. Culturally, it is more related to Central and South America.

Mexico has a 10,143 kilometer coastline, of which 7,338 kilometers face the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California, and the remaining 2,805 kilometers front the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Mexico's exclusive economic zone (EEZ), which extends 200 nautical miles (370 km) off each coast, covers approximately 2.7 million square kilometers. The landmass of Mexico dramatically narrows as it moves in a southeasterly direction from the United States border and then abruptly curves northward before ending in the 500-kilometer-long Yucat n Peninsula. Indeed, the capital of Yucat ¡n State, Florida, is farther north than Mexico City or Guadalajara.
