I agree that its very dark down there. On our Monday night beach walk over to Crazy Kanuks, there were a few points where I mentioned we should have brought our flashlight with us.

SIN, actually it was a little further south. The other side of O'Farrell, but dark none the less.

Thank you for the clarification. Quite a distance between Belizean Reef/The Palms/Ramons and O'Farrell/Yacht Club. There's a very noticable low traffic/low lighting area around Carribean Villas...Safe to say it was most assuredly away from town...awful experience...makes walking back from town to Banana Beach much less desirable...

jesus guys -take a cab

I was mugged just south of BC's over 10 years ago. Luckily we weren't beaten up, but we were threatened with a machete.

Now I only walk the beach at night from BC's to Fido's and back - before midnight!

I take Pedro1's advice now and take a cab.

Our crime rate is very unfortunate and even when you live in Paradise you have to be aware of your surroundings and make intelligent decisions when wandering around in dark areas.

It is a crying shame - but a sad part of life.

Hopefully your son will be healed before he goes back to the real world.

We will be arriving next week, staying at Mata Rocks. Is it safe to take the golf cart to town at night, or do we need to cab it back and forth?

take the cart- just be sure it's locked

Just take the key with us...or is there another way of locking it I don't know about???

h2 some are equipped with a cable and padlock that wraps around the steering wheel. you should be fine.

take the cart... if you have any problems.. just run'em over...
