Playa Boca Chica
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Check out this beautiful drone video of a well-known beach in the Dominican Republic, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot rkmaerial. Boca Chica Beach (Playa Boca Chica) is located in the town of the same name, about 30 km (around 18 mi.) of central Santo Domingo on the country's southern (Caribbean Sea) coastline. The area was first developed early in the 20th century by Juan Bautista Vicini Burgos, a leading DR businessman and politicians who established a series of sugar plantations here.

Because of its proximity to Santo Domingo, Boca Chica is considered the capital’s main beach. Stretching a near mile long with brilliant, white sand, this bustling stretch is well protected by a large coral reef, and its shallow turquoise waters—not more than four feet in depth, and often compared to a giant natural pool—make it a favorite swimming spot for families. Annual sailing and beach volleyball tournaments also take place in Boca Chica. The quintessential Boca Chica experience includes feasting on fresh fish and seafood, from a row of fish fry shacks, or at one of numerous beachfront restaurants, toes buried in sand. The sandy stretch is also lined with a variety of small and large-sized hotels, primarily in the heart of town and facing Boca Chica beach. On the eastern edge of town, a handful of upscale beach clubs offer seafront dining and swimming off lounge decks. Across Boca Chica’s shoreline, you can spot La Matica—a mangrove cay that serves as a bird roosting and nesting site for many species, including herons. It’s a short wade over from the main beach to reach it. #bocachicabeach #dominicanrepublic #city #international #travel #drone #dronestagram #drones #dronephotography #droneoftheday #dronepilot #dronefly #dronelife #airvuz #dronesdaily #droneporn #dronepilot #dronephoto #uavphotography #droneshot #dronepics #dronepic #dronemultimedia #droneshots #djiglobal #instatravel #topdronephotos #djiinspire2 #djimavic2pro #osmoaction
