Campeche

Campeche is a bohemian outpost, home to artists, massage therapists, surfing hippies and other free thinkers seeking to escape the crowds. The beach is protected, so the sand is completely undeveloped, yet those condo complexes – especially in up and coming Nova Campeche – have managed to creep in as close as the law allows. The beach faces Ilha do Campeche, home to a single beach and summer-only restaurant, as well as over 100 petroglyphs distributed around 10 archaeological sites. Only 400 people per day are allowed to visit.
