how safe is the beach at Boca Chica Monday-Friday during the morning/afternoon? my bf is goin to be busy during this time and wanted to see if it was safe for me to be alone there until about noon... what are your opinions on this idea? he says no chance.. but really how bad could it be?

Day time central area of Calle Duarte and the adjacent area of the beach is relatively safe (but you will be molested and propositioned by males of all skin colors). Just do not go into side streets and do not follow Andres direction on the beach. Better sit in Isla Bonita.

I wouldn`t allow my GF to be in the beach or in the street alone in this village.

Isla Bonita is fine. However a little east of there is the Boathouse.
It is a very western friendly beach bar with great prices. They have most of their space isolated form the beach to keep the vendors at bay.

Tell Mara/Maria that Carlos sent you!

And yes I highly reccomend The Boathouse, great place......;);)

I know that's your opinion ab2000, but if everyone took that advice, the Beach would be empty.....and Boca Chica would be a Ghost Town.....

Also I think your comment about how you wouldn't "ALLOW" your girlfriend to go to the Beach or be alone "in this Village" is hilarious!!!!!!

It's 2011.......again your a funny guy!!!!

LOL, rice&beans you know boca chica can't be mentioned without a few negative posts. The beach area by the Don Juan hotel would probably be better just for laying out on the beach to enjoy the morning.

G2M is giggle to myself jaja. And thank you for the input. I just don't want to be sitting in the apartment alone until he comes home. He will be in boca chica also and I figure if I get lonely or bord at the beach I would be able to walk to the fields and watch him =/

Boca Chica, Dominican Republic
when u hear 'my friend my friend'....just keep walking.and if u dont want to be bothered by the venders i just pretend i'm sleeping or wear dark glasses so they cant tell if you're sleeping.the beach is very safe during the day.if the venders are too much you might want to try juan dolio for more non-bothersome day.

thanks IRATE... :)

do you guys know about the lounge chairs on the beach? i know its a stupid question, ive see videos and pics of tons of chairs on the beach but are you allowed to use them? or are they for patrons of hotels, bars, restaurants ect? or can just anyone grab one and use it?

Best way to have a hassle-free experience in Boca Chica is to go to one of the restaurants like Pelicano, Neptuno or Boca Marina, or one of the recommended beach bars, which means you can use their lounge chairs.

OK. Those intelligent, independent and emancipated ladies who try to behave here in Boca like on Park Ave or Madison Ave sooner or later get a nice reality check. Ok with me.

In last two days I spent some time watching composition of the local crowd. The result is: 75% - ho`s and single male weekend warriors, 15-20% - elderly German and Italian expats sipping their beer all day in New Swisa and Gusto Tropical. An occasional group or two from Hamaca or Don Juan AI with wide open eyes and holding each other`s hand very tight. A very occasional white couple. And not a single female gringa sola. Not a single one observed I repeat.

But you probably know better.

Your highly informated input is very appreciated.

I sencerely wish a lot of fun to our creative adventure seeker who is so eager to prove to her BF that he is fool and she is smart.

LOL bigtime, pretty accurate description of Boca Chica but still a nice place to visit, maybe not for the faint at heart.
