Beaches in Boca Chica

The beach of Boca Chica stretches for almost 3 kilometers. Its main attraction is the fine-grained sand. A feature of Boca Chica beach was the violation of local laws that prohibit commercial construction closer than 60 meters from the sea.

The beach is blocked by the Hamaca Beach Resort hotel, which has its own pier. In the center of the beach is the Don Juan Beach Resort, which also has its own pier, where the diving center is located. Various water sports are centered near the pier. This is probably the best part of Boca Chica beach.

If you are in doubt about which beach to choose in Boca Chica, the city also includes two small islands on the coasts of which you can enjoy a wonderful beach vacation.

The islet of La Matica is famous for its mangrove tree, which grows practically in its center. It is also a permanent habitat for herons. Getting here is quite easy. All you have to do is walk through a shallow lagoon with a sandy bottom.

Opposite the main beach of Boca Chica is another island, Los Pinos. Its name translates as "island of pines". You'll need sturdy boots and mosquito repellent to walk around it.

Not far from the old abandoned sugar cane factory is another beach, Playa Andres. This place has a well-developed infrastructure, equipped with sunbeds and beach umbrellas, and surrounded by palm trees. Despite its impressive length, it is not infrequently crowded.
