Ciudad Madero has the beach named "Playa Miramar",which, in recent years, has been expanding its services with new hotels and restaurants. Near the beach there is a lighthouse, named "Faro de Ciudad Madero" - although this has been replaced by a red beacon light atop a small tower, to guide approaching ships in to the channel of the Rio Panuco.

The citizens of Tampico often consider that Cd.Madero is merely a rump of their own municipality - this leads to much local jesting and civic pride. In fact, although the two cities are politically and administratively independent, they are physically conjoined and form a part of a larger conurbation.
