Campeche Bank is part of the Gulf of Mexico and extends from the Yucatan Straits in the east to the Tabasco-Campeche Basin in the west.[12] The Campeche ocean bank is 81 miles (130 km) from Mexico's geography of Campeche nautically bearing 100 nautical miles (120 mi; 190 km) south of the Tropic of Cancer.

Campeche Bank is cast as cays and reefs with islets encompassing Arrecife Alacran and Sigsbee Deep to the north with a southwest island arc of the Cayos Arcas archipelago isolated 92 nautical miles (106 mi; 170 km) north of Ciudad del Carmen.
