Beaches in Santo Domingo
Boca Chica Beach - Santo Domingo
 Poblado Andrés de Boca Chica, 19 miles from city center, Santo Domingo
Although it's approximately 20 miles outside of Santo Domingo, Boca Chica serves as the area's most popular destination for lounging in the sun and enjoying Caribbean waters. The beach is protected by a coral reef, subduing waves and currents so swimmers can have pleasant, safe dips. Picturesque white sands and blue waters are striking enough to empty a whole roll of film on, and clear water is perfect for snorkeling.
Juan Dolio Beach - Santo Domingo
 45 minutes from city center, Santo Domingo
Just north of Boca Chica, the beach at Juan Dolio provides a long stretch of sand and crushed coral for sunbathing or playing volleyball or beach football. However, the underwater coral may make for an uncomfortable expedition if you're looking for more water-focused activities. Don't let this keep you away – resorts and nightlife destinations along the strand are well worth the trip and have blossomed in recent years.
La Caleta Beach - Santo Domingo
Just off shore at Boca Chica, Santo Domingo
La Caleta presents scuba divers with excellent options during vacations in Santo Domingo. Small islands off the coast, along with a coral reef, make the beach's waters less rough than in some areas, so underwater sightseeing is especially safe. Plus, two shipwrecks and the myriad of colorful fish draw divers from around the world.
