Boca Chica

Boca Chica is a municipality in the Santo Domingo province of the Dominican Republic, with a population of 167,040 inhabitants as of 2022. It is home to a popular beach with clear blue waters and white sand, located about 30 kilometers east of Santo Domingo. The beach has a rich history, with the community of Boca Chica being founded in 1779, and later developed by Dominican businessman Juan Bautista Vicini Burgos in the early 1900s. In the 1950s and 1960s, prominent families of the Dominican Republic built summer properties along the beach, but it became increasingly popular among the general public after the 1970s. The Hamaca hotel, which was a popular landmark in the area, was closed after Hurricane David in 1979 but later reopened, contributing to the area's economic recovery. Today, Boca Chica is one of the busiest beaches in the Dominican Republic, known for its natural beauty, lively atmosphere, and numerous amenities and activities.learn more on wikipedia
