Review:

If you're staying in Santo Domingo and prepared to travel just a short distance for a truly world class beach experience, Playa Boca Chica is the place for you. It's less than a half hour drive out of the city and can be reached via public transport if you don't happen to have a car. Playa Boca Chica is a huge beach with a lot of space for everyone to enjoy, both on the sand and in the water. Even with all that space, it can still get pretty crowded here as this beach is hugely popular with Santo Domingo tourists and residents.

But don’t worry, even on the busiest of days, you can always usually find a spare beach umbrella and a few sun loungers to enjoy your time, or you can simply walk further down the beach to find a quiet spot on the sand. Either way, when you do find your place on this beach, you'll be able to make the most of its soft white sands and calm, reef-protected waters. Snorkeling, diving, swimming, sunbathing, beach games, and more can all be enjoyed at Playa Boca Chica , and there are a lot of good bars and restaurants to be found along the edge of the sand as well.
