REMEMBER NOT TO BRING SAND TO THE BEACH

Boca Chica's beach is truly unique.  Its waters make up a cove approximately 1 mile wide.  About 1/4 mile out, there is a reef in the shape of a giant semi-circle that extends from end to end and just protrudes out beyond the water's surface and completely surrounds the cove, forming a giant natural salt-water swimming pool with depths averaging 3-4 feet.  The reef acts as a natural break wall to the Caribbean Sea, so the cove is usually glass calm.. Inside the reef, the water is crystal clear, continuously filtered and fed by a series of natural underground springs. It is this "swimming pool in the sea" that provides some very beautiful and distinct views because you have the deep azure blue of the Caribbean beyond the reef, contrasting with the shallow bay, which varies between a deep sky-blue and an intense blue-green, depending on the angle of the sun.

beach about ankle deep and reaches a depth of just few feet after about 100 yards out, with nothing but smooth clean sand underfoot.  As one approaches the middle, they may encounter a short distance of 10 yards or so where the water depth reaches 6 feet but it quickly returns to just a few feet in depth and slowly decreases until it is again ankle deep as one approaches the natural reef.

This naturally calm, clear, and shallow water makes it ideal for all sorts of water sports and swimming.  It is great for paddle boats, kayaks, water skiing, banana boat rides. Jet skis are restricted to the far end of the beach, away from the hotels and swimmers.  It is especially good for small children.  The sand along the shore varies in appearance from a light colored tan to white, depending on the angle of the sun.  It is usually flat for easy walking and the beach varies from 40 to 100 yards wide.  One can easily find room on the beach to throw a Frisbee around any day of the week, any time of the day. There is lots of open space. 

On Sundays, the beach gets very crowded, as many Dominicans families come in from Santo Domingo to enjoy the beach, but by Monday morning the beach is empty and cleaned up of any debris left from the Sunday crowds.  The rest of the week is equally quiet until Saturday, when the beach sees more visitors.
