Not sure where you are visiting from. If you think going to NYC and making a stop at Coney Island is a bucket list item, then you will like boca chica. While there is a premium for any place with a water view, the value to boca chica seems to be its proximity to SD. weekends are vastly different than Weekdays. As a gringo, I wpuld reccomend going to a beach club, ordereing as much as your budget affords then take a walk. I enjoy my time in BC--day trips only. went there once by myself and didn't like it. With other dominicans it is more fun.
