Be sure to check out the old abandoned hotel "Bahía Tenacatita"
down the beach which was destroyed by the earthquake in 1995.
If you swim, be careful of the reported ocean cross currents here.
There are two restaurants at Boca, and staples are available at the
seasonal Mini-Market. There is an occasional alligator to be
seen in the lagoon next to the beach access road (careful - no
fence). There is not much to do at Boca, which suits visitors
just fine. Boca is however becoming a well known Boogie
Boarding Destination. Please do not drive on the playa! |
