BOCA CHICA BEACH, BEAUTIFUL BUT DANGEROUS ⚠️!

[@franciscofuster4550]

Been there about 4 times and I love it. Going again in September. Everything my man said is truth lot of hustlers just have too say no and at night they close the streets and theres music and people all over the place.

[@MrHeart1]

I have been to DR a few times back in the day and my first trip to DR was to Boca Chica. This gentleman El Check-In is 100 percent correct in what he says. I can't speak for others but I ask the price of things here in the states. And I have the money to buy anything that I want. If I won the Lottery Jackpot of Millions I would STILL ask the price of things. Don't allow yourself to be played, everywhere in the world is not the west.

[@trenville5126]

Be careful with the liquor it’s watered down

[@briantravelman]

Well, guess this is out too😂 I've exhausted pretty much every possibility in the DR. I thought closer to Santo Domingo it wouldn't be like this, but apparently not. I guess you have to west of the capital to finally get away from the tourist trap places. This place was on my bucketlist when I was younger, and it seemed like such an amazing country, but the people who live there have completely ruined it like Jamaica.

[@GAVINLUVSBEYONCE]

You made it easy for me to enjoy myself there. Went in June and July. Was thinking to go once a month but got a bit popular (i think) so imma pause. It addictive especially for someone that loves the culture and resonates with the beach.

[@KerenOrtiz]

Hey, this is a great video-really informative and accurate! Your experience with the restaurant feels very real, and it happens often. My family went through a similar situation. Unless you have a family member in the Dominican Republic police force, they don’t care when you get scammed. Even with my uncle being a colonel, they tried to scam us. The bill was only adjusted after he made a call. It’s definitely a setup, so I’d recommend sticking to chain restaurants in Boca Chica. Your description of the beach and how it's divided is spot on. Not all small businesses are scams, though-mainly the restaurants. In my experience, the street vendors are more honest and offer fresh, delicious fried fish, and they always take cash. It’s best to pay in cash, go to places where they write the bill instead of printing it, and always ask for the price upfront, even at those places

[@corneliusjoseph1599]

I really enjoyed the video. Thank you for the information. You really gave the viewer enough fact about D.R. that was really helpful. Keep up the good work.

[@elcheckin]

I appreciate this comment . I'll continue to spread the info. 👍

[@AfricanDominican]

Been to Boca Chica a few times and never had a problem. I thing it's because I'm always with Dominicans. If you're with your local Dominican people, you should be fine. Don't stick out as a tourist...

@@elcheckin Damn dude you let them get you 3 times. You know what they say: Shame on you. They got me once on Boca Chica beach around 2013 and I swore I would never eat at a restaurant on that beach again and I never did. The women, the begging, and the robberies at the hands of the restaurants are the reason why Boca Chica is practically a ghost town with few businesses doing well and many closed.

[@bornjamerican52]

New to your channel 😊, thanks for the feedback on Boca Chica 💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@abdullahpwalrabudah735]

That’s happened to me and my friends also. The guys showed me a fish @ 700 pesos each on the menu. When I received the bill it was 4 times of the original price. The excuses was the fishes we ate were bigger

Personally, I would rather not go to a country where most everyone sees tourists like suckers and is trying to scam me out of my money, and that’s exactly how it felt I in DR

[@briantravelman]

Me too. I have no respect for these kinds of "people". Why is it that the most beautiful and interesting places always have to be ruined by shitty people? These "people" should be ashamed of themselves. I hope they all burn in hell when their judgement comes! And these people are CATHOLICS?🤣

[@sasukeuchiha224]

As a Dominican myself. I agree with you but don’t let that ruin your experience. Always tell em no and enjoy your time there but don’t come to no a chica it’s so ghetto

You on point.. Bro when I go I usually have one of my Chicas with me from San Cristo or Bani....Will be there next week to chill..on beach with a Cold Presidente.

[@ricolaw1033]

The hustle in Boca Chica isn’t the restaurants, it’s the moto concho’s and side hustlers that bring you to the restaurant. Never go with them. Just go to a real waiter or waitress and take a picture of the menu. I go to Pelicano, Bocano and D Sonni’s

[@elcheckin]

Hahah so true bro ! The menu switch up is real

[@mmafan3]

Luckily i didn't have a bad run out there..the beers were a bit more but we paid for them up front and didn't eat on the beach. That Pica Pollo you walked by we ate at and all things considered it was reasonable. Boca Chica isn't bad as long as you move smart. I think the beach is beautiful, but i'm not much of a late night person anymore. However I may stay a night or two there next trip then head up to Sosua. Nice footage.

[@MarvVentura]

I didn't think boca chica was very dangerous when i went, was pretty chilled.

[@samd7281]

The most hood beach I've ever visited. Mostly locals and familys at this beach. They tried to scam us on our bill too but I let them know in Spanish the price was ridiculous, they brought manager over and I added it up, brought the bill down over $100, would never go back there.

[@haydotzero3372]

Even $100 is likely too much but I wonder what the price was prior to that? I have been there too but I was with a friend and a taxi driver that became our tour guide/friend. I don’t see myself been there alone

[@MacT991]

Man it's pretty safe there now if you doing shady things like looking for hard drugs or out there flaunting expensive jewelry rolex watches etc. Then you could possibly run into trouble but then that it's safer than the United States 💯
