What is Sac-Be.com and why should you care?

We are people who have a deep and abiding love for that strip of sand running from Puerto Morelos to Xcalak. Our goal is to become an online gathering place for those with similar attachments, writers and readers alike. We offer an assortment of personal stories, factual pieces, opinions and our monthly newsletter. Sac-Be.com is a business, though not yet a profitable one. Our sole source of revenue is advertising. We are not a reservation agency. We promise not to sugar-coat the bad for fear of losing an advertiser or scaring away a potential visitor. We tell you this because it is important to us that you know: our only axe to grind is our strong personal sense of commitment to the area and its people.
