Boca Chica Virtual Tour

Boca Chica first appeared on the Caribbean coast in 1920, and since then, it has steadily grown in popularity, benefiting from its proximity to Santa Domingo. Over time, it has become the renowned resort it is today, thanks in large part to its expansive sandy beaches that stretch for kilometers. These beaches boast pristine white sand and crystal-clear waters, which delight divers and water sports enthusiasts. There's even a diving club along the coast, allowing travelers to explore Boca Chica's underwater world. The piers extending directly into the water from major hotels provide perfect conditions for various water activities.

One of Boca Chica's main attractions is its unique natural beauty. Along the coast, you'll find several incredible islands, each worthy of exploration. Los Pinos Island, covered in dense pine trees, offers enjoyable walks. La Matica Island features a solitary mangrove tree at its center and is home to a population of herons along its shores.
