Here's one for the families. Not far outside the Dominican Republic's capital city of Santo Domingo, Boca Chica Beach offers some very calm and tranquil waters. The nearby coral reef, which is formed in a curved shape, actually helps to protect the beach from the rougher waves further out to sea, creating a peaceful little spot for beach-goers of all ages to enjoy. The waters here are just right for swimming and it's not uncommon to see families and groups of friends engaging in games of beach volleyball and other fun activities on the sand too. Due to its ideal water conditions, Boca Chica Beach can get quite busy around the holidays or at weekends, but if you head out there in the middle of the week, you'll find it to be way less crowded.
