Boca Chica is located just 30 minutes from the center of the capital Santo Domingo, to the east located in the bay of San Andrés. Dominican residents are drawn to its turquoise beaches and shallow waters. Boca Chica is the best place to eat fried fish or seafood and enjoy the beautiful view in one of the restaurants on the beach. On weekdays, tourists can have the beach and the town to themselves. There are three beach areas: Boca Chica (swimming, restaurants, and nightlife); Andrés (sailors and sport fishermen) and La Caleta (divers).

Over the years, individual tourism has been established, but Boca Chica's three all-inclusive resorts largely cover conferences and sports tourism. Tourists staying there can enjoy the beach and the proximity of the Las Américas International Airport, just 10 minutes away by car; half an hour from the Colonial City and also close enough to good golf in Juan Dolio and La Romana.

Boca Chica is conveniently close to the sports facilities of Mirador del Este Park, La Caleta Submarine Park where you can snorkel, sailing and fishing facilities, and beach volleyball courts.
