The locals from Punta Negra travel back and forth on a fairly regular basis, but without a set time schedule. Of course one might ask, why should they have one, for there is only a local population of less than forty people total living in Punta Negra.

Times they are a changing and schedules though may be in the forecast for Punta Negra. Word from a local environmental group has it that "some company from the US bought some land from the Garifuna and they want to build a golf course in that area". As has been effectively proven from the northern Yucatan of Mexico to the village in Placencia, development of highly valuable beach properties seemingly always finds it's way to paradise. All said, whether it's good or bad in your frame of mind, 'life's a beach' and eventually developers will also make their way to the beaches south of Monkey River, north of Punta Negra.
