Friendly seaside restaurant with excellent views of the Gulf of Mexico. Typical Mexican seafood dishes like camarones al mojo diablo or filetes de pescado, big shrimp cocktails, frozen margaritas, reasonable prices.
Casual waterfront seafood restaurant with a large deck looking out over the Gulf of Mexico. Try the champotonero shrimp, a regional recipe and a house specialty.
This is the place to know if late night munchies attack. It's a full service seafood restaurant with dinner served any time day or night. Popular with truckers. Cash only (no credit cards).
Pleasant hotel with gardens, outdoor swimming pool, secured parking area. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable.
Modern beachside hotel with palapa shelters and lounge chairs on the beach. On-site restaurant with beach tables. Rooms are air-conditioned but water in the room feels slick and brackish.
Remodeled traditional in-town hotel with clean, comfortable rooms, swimming pool, Wi-Fi, off-street parking.
Traditional regional marketplace selling fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, and especially locally caught seafood. A number of older women operate stands selling traditional Campechean cuisine, especially panchitos de mariscos. The market opens before dawn and is popular with locals looking for a filling breakfast that's cheap on the wallet and a fiesta on the tongue.
By bus
Autobuses Sur Mexico (known as Sur) has hourly buses from Campeche to Champoton. The second-class buses stop briefly in Seybaplaya and Villa Madero. The fare is less than M$100.
By combi
There are also combis that make the trip for M$40. Look for the red and white vans in Campeche that say "Champoton" on the windshield.
Champoton is a fairly compact city and walking is the best way to explore it (especially the malecon). Taxis are available to get you around town.
