SABANCUY Campeche

  bienvenue

Sabancuy is a small fishing village about an hour and a half south of Campeche City on the coastal highway or about one hour north of Carmen City (Ciudad del Carmen).  The town sits on the river delta and is as of yet an undiscovered tourism spot.  It is 68 kms South of Champoton or about 130 kms south of Campeche City.  As you approach Sabancuy from the main highway you must turn onto a bridge that takes you through the river to the town's main square where the typical Mexican church stands guard on the main plaza.

The area around Sabancuy is an ecological treasure with numerous fish and birds species.  The river is beautiful as are the beaches on the other side of the highway.  There are no big hotels nearby and no tourism development yet.  The few tourists who come here are usually touring the Yucatan peninsula on their own and happen to stop by.  There are rumours of future small and medium sized developments in the town as well as ideas for B&B's and extended stay accommodations.

There are plans to develop some of the land that stretches from the beach to the river delta for tourism purposes.  However, because of the 2006 amendment to the Mexican Wild Life Protection Act, things have changed.. A pair of local entrepreneurs from Carmen City who  were actively working to develop a 42 hectares tract of land in Sabancuy have had to go back to the drawing board for the time being..
