Punta Negra, Coastal district in Lima Province, Peru
Punta Negra stretches along the Pacific Ocean with eight different beaches including Cangrejos, Punta Rocas, El Puerto, and La Pocita across 130.5 square kilometers.
An Italo-Peruvian citizen named Lidio Mongilardi established the district name in 1954 after comparing the area to a similar coastal zone in Italy.
The district maintains connections to pre-Columbian heritage through the Yungas fishing communities who first inhabited this coastal region under Pachacamac leadership.
The population increases during summer months as visitors frequent the beaches, with permanent residents numbering approximately 8,914 people across the district.
During the 2019 Pan American Games, the Punta Rocas area served as an official competition venue, demonstrating the district's capacity for international sporting events.
