The village of Crabwood Creek (CWC), Corentyne which has a population of 7,000 is said to have seen significant business developments over the years with many residents engaged in trading in neighbouring Suriname.

It is located two villages away from Moleson Creek – the end of the Corentyne coast – which is home to the Guyana-Suriname Ferry Stelling. Persons from all over the country would go to the stelling to cross with the MV Kanawaima which departs at 9 am and 1 pm daily.
