Malecón de Campeche
A seaside promenade running several kilometers along the Gulf of Mexico, where locals run, cycle, and watch the sunset.
The Malecón runs about 7 km along the western coast of the old town, with a walkway and bike path. In the evenings, you can watch the sun set into the Gulf of Mexico, and pelicans and cormorants often gather by the shore. Near the dock, pirate-ship-style sightseeing boats run tours out to sea (check the schedule on site). The water is too shallow for swimming, so the promenade is mainly for strolling. It is a few minutes' walk from Puerta de Mar.
