Boca Chica

Long stretches of white sandy shore link the Dominican Republic's Caribbean Sea-bordering towns when driving east from Santo Domingo and past Las Americas International Airport, the nation's main port of entry.

First comes Boca Chica, a 20-minute drive from the capital city. Boca Chica beckons travelers who seek respite from the stresses of big city life, but still want to freely shop for souvenirs and merengue until late. Boca Chica today offers beach resorts and small hotel accommodations, as well as many small apartment complexes for those wanting to stay longer. Visitors can enjoy the water sports programs, with the opportunity to scuba dive at nearby La Caleta Underwater National Park, site of the Hickory wreck, considered by SkinDiver and Rodale scuba diving magazines as one of the five best dive sites in the Caribbean.

Boca Chica draws international travelers in large numbers who mingle with the locals in what must be described as a classical tropical beach setting of swaying palms, lustrous sun and an inviting picture-perfect aqua bay. In fact, Boca Chica's beach is the largest reef-protected lagoon in the Caribbean. Boca Chica's shallow, protected waters are ideal for water-skiers and sun-seeking swimmers. It is also the place to indulge in that frosty glass of beer from one of the casual restaurants, bars, and cafes owned mainly by Europeans, many overlooking the Caribbean waters.
