in front of Ferreteria Mas Uno. The cross street is the road to Los Conucos.
Go left a block to the beach. There are many "umbrellas" to rent if you wish and there are several small "bars" such as Il Cappucino and Don Pedro's where you can buy a Presidente (or other refreshment) as well as a snack.
If your appetite says "meal" any of the restaurants are good however for a really sumptuous meal try the new "Jardin del Caribe" restaurant! The food is fantastic!
The natives are friendly, the beach picturesque with not too many vendors and the UBH's won't hound you to death but are available if that's your "desire"!
Weekends especially Sunday are busy with "locals" and you can even buy Dominican fare right on the beach Sat. & Sun.
I think Boca Chica is over-rated also (more like a giant wading pool) altho' the fine white sand there is a treat (even if it is a man-made beach as opposed to a "natural" gem).
Have fun........
