Boca Chica is a coastal municipality of Santo Domingo, located 26 km east of the Dominican capital, has one of the most beautiful and spacious beaches in the country. Boca Chica began its tourist development in the 1950s, when the Hotel Hamaca was built, which became an icon of the region. This hotel was hosted by Fulgencio Batista aspired in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban revolution took over Havana. During the 1950s and 1960s families from the Dominican Republic built several beach houses along the coast and in the town of Boca Chica. Then at the end of the 1960s and early 1970s the beach became very popular and crowded, both by national and international tourists. Boca Chica is now a small seaside resort in the Dominican Republic, located 10 minutes by car east of the Santo Domingo airport and about 25 minutes east of the border of the eastern zone. It is famous for its crystal clear, quiet and shallow waters, but also for its proximity to the airport and the capital as well as for its exuberant nightlife. Boca Chica is the most modern public bathing resort in the country. It is located on the south-east coast of the island of La Hispaniola.

The Boca Chica beach
It is one of the country's most beautiful white salt-like, soft sands and the water is calm, crystal clear and shallow. Boca Chica beach is truly unique. Its waters make up a bay about a kilometer and a half wide. Approximately 400 meters along, is a reef that protrudes and has the form of a giant half circle, extending from one end of the beach to the other. The reef covers the entire surface of the bay constituting a giant natural saltwater pool, whose average depth is one meter. The reef acts as a natural barrier for the Caribbean Sea, so that the waters of the bay are usually very calm. Inside the reef, the water is clear, perpetually filtered and fed by a series of natural underground sources. The views so beautiful and different are due to this "swimming in the sea". You will see the dark blue sky of the Caribbean Sea beyond the reef that contrasts with the shallow bay where the inks go from deep blue to intense turquoise, depending on the position of the sun. At the edge of the sea, you will have water up to your ankles and it will not reach more than one meter tempts after a hundred meters, with only soft white sand under your feet. If you approach the center, you can find a depth of about six feet for a few tens of meters, but, very quickly, a small slope will take you to a place where again you will have water up to your ankles, while Near the natural reef.

Boca Chica nightlife
The night life of Boca Chica is mostly spent on Calle Duarte, which is parallel to the beach. Every season, fashion places change. At the beginning of the night, Calle Duarte is a very pleasant place. Both ends of the street are blocked and becomes an exclusively pedestrianized road. Most of the restaurants are open on one side and you are served on the sidewalk and the street. A lot of people are having dinner, having a drink or walking around, looking at the shops. You will hear Merengue and Bachata, the country's two most popular rhythms everywhere. At this time you will mainly find couples of tourists, families and children. You will have lots of fun, for sure. Around midnight, most restaurants close and most of the older tourists and families return to their hotel. It is the moment that night owls choose to leave. The bars also install their terraces in the street, transforming it into a kind of neighborhood party. Many bars are quite small and fully open on the side of the street and several are almost totally outdoors. Street after street, bars go in sequence, but very little seem to attract many people. Around 2am, the majority of Dominicans who work in local restaurants or who live in the city or in the neighboring town of Andres start to leave. And at this moment, the nightlife of Boca Chica really begins. If you want to share with the local population, that's where you have to go. The atmosphere culminates around 3 am and at 4, people start to leave.
