Travelwise, Misantla is about 35 km (22 mi) from the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, however, the roads to the Coast are not reliable.

It is the municipal seat of several different communities such as Morelos, Guerrero, el Pozón, Buenos Aires, Arroyo Hondo, etc.

The new foundation was called Santa María de la Asunción Misantla, although the first church built was dedicated to San Sebastián, being destroyed by a fire in 1565.
