Chacala continues to evolve into a popular destination for visitors and property owners. While still maintaining the quality of the beaches, clean ocean waters, the gentle unpolluted trade winds and the friendliness of the people, there is a building boom going on. Every year new buildings are replacing the old or are springing up on virgin lots. The Mexican government has targeted Chacala as a growth area. For example, Chacala has a new water system. The townspeople, the scholarship students and Chacala visitors have created a comprehensive garbage program. Telmex has brought broadband to Chacala. We have cell phone service as well. To some of us locals who remember the Chacala of only a few years ago, these changes seem like Scottie beamed us to another planet. While we enjoy the new conveniences, we all hope that the integrity of our beloved Chacala will be sustained.
