Boca Chica Photos

I love Boca Chica. Lived there for 2 and a half years. I was shown true kindness by the local people and loved our first AI holidays there too. To Vera, is the Dom Rep not filled with lower class tourism anyway?! Which part is high class?! They are all cheap package holidays at the end of the day. As for my fascination with Boca Chica, theres the beach that's to die for, the people that are so friendly, my hotel experiences were great and I miss my job at the Don Juan Hotel sooooo badly.

i like B.C. because i have met many friends there over there years. I like the fact that it is close to the capital ...so after a few days of beaching it...i can head into the city for for culture and urban life. I like the fact that i can hop on a guagua and go to juan dolio, or playa craribe or guyacannes for something quiter. I like fact that i can get a non stop flight and get there in 3.5 hrs. I like it when my friend (who used to be a cook at hamaca) comes over every night and cooks me amazing dinners...or i go to his mamas house and she cooks even MORE amazing dinners). i LOVE sundays when everybody from santo domingo comes out and has a grand fiesta on the beach. I like the fact that locals mingle freely with the tourists (and not ALL are out to hustle you) and that i am not in some gated AI where the only locals you meet are resort workers.

THey keep the beach clean...the water is calm. I love my swims out to matica where i hang out with the pescadoros.

Sure..the view of the megaport is nothing to brag about....but just to get away from NYC and hang out with friends i have known for years...in a familiar setting....the city near by if i want real night life.

and the entire trip is really quite affordable.

Are there better/prettier places...probably. do i consider BC a slice of real life in the DR...NOPE. BUt its close enough where you can experience the DR if you are adventurous and really want to.

just my thoughts.

they DO gotta work on the night life tho...i always agree with kyle on that one.
