Boca Chica is a ravishing seaside town, overlooking the stunning Caribbean Sea, on the southern coast of the Dominican Republic. The crystal clear water, sweeping up the fine golden sand, has shifted this gem into one of the busiest destination in the country – not to mention the two tiny tropical islands, Los Pinos and La Matica.
It’s even more vibrant when the sun sets – the night bars, world-class restaurants, and noisy party are unparalleled, anywhere. Here are 8 awesome things to do in and around Boca Chica, for your consideration:
1. Get sun-kissed skin on Boca Chica Beach
Compared to the northern stretches of sandy spots like Playa Dorada, Sosua, and Puerto Plata, Boca Chica Beach has more delicate and whiter sand, as well as clearer and calmer water – and the magical view of the blue Caribbean Ocean adds its worth. One the greatest things to do here is to soak up the sun, to get that impeccably tan-colored skin. If you love water sports, you should have a go at waterskiing, kayaking, banana boat rides, or try the paddle boats.
