Port of Boca Chica, Caribbean seaport in Santo Domingo Este, Dominican Republic

The Port of Boca Chica is a small maritime facility on the coast of Santo Domingo Este designed to handle regional cargo loading and unloading operations. The site includes cargo equipment, storage areas, and supply infrastructure that supports daily port operations.

This facility was established in the 1950s as a key transportation hub for the sugar trade that dominated the Santo Domingo economy at that time. That original purpose of moving cargo shaped how the port developed and operates today.

The port lies in Boca Chica, a municipality of Santo Domingo Este, and its docks sit beside the town's fishing and beach life. The AES Company runs an energy-generating facility on the port grounds, so electricity production shares the site with cargo handling. Locals know the harbour as a working cargo point rather than a visitor attraction.

The port lies at 18°26′26″N 69°37′47″W and keeps local time at UTC−4. Prevailing winds run from the ENE to the ESE, and the hurricane season lasts from June to November, so conditions are worth checking before any dock visit. Access to certain areas may be restricted depending on ship movements or security protocols in effect.

The port site also houses an AES Company power-generating facility, so electricity production shares the grounds with cargo handling. The port lies at 18°26′26″N 69°37′47″W, keeping UTC−4 local time, and prevailing winds run ENE–ESE, with the windy period from May 15 to September 15 and hurricane season June to November.
