Minizo beach was once a bustling port, dating back to around 120 years ago, which thrived thanks to the machine company that processed cotton from the region. Today, only the ruins of this once-prosperous port remain, but locals claim that Minizo was a vital trading hub with South America and Asia. The beach is now adorned with impressive parota trunks, which are believed to have been used as anchors for the ships that docked here. Sadly, the machine company was abandoned when cotton farming was replaced by other agricultural activities, causing the population to relocate to nearby towns like Collantes and La Boquilla de Chicometepec.
