Boca Chica, Coastal municipality in Santo Domingo Province, Dominican Republic.
The municipality features a white sand beach with clear blue waters and extends along the Caribbean coastline at an elevation of 13 meters.
Founded in 1779 as San José de los Llanos during the government of Brigadier Don Isidro Peralta y Rojas, the area grew through sugar production after 1916.
The annual carnival brings together residents and visitors with traditional parades, Dominican music performances, and regional dance presentations throughout the streets.
Located 30 kilometers east of Santo Domingo, the area contains numerous accommodations, restaurants, and transportation options for visitors exploring the region.
The beach includes two small islands, Los Pinos and La Matica, which formed through dredging activities and now serve as natural bird sanctuaries.
