When we asked people living in Boca Chica about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:
"Boca Chica, Dominican Republic, is a popular destination for expats, and there are numerous clubs and activities they can join to meet new people and immerse themselves in the local culture. Many expats join sports clubs, such as golf, tennis, or sailing clubs, which are popular in the area due to the beautiful weather and outdoor opportunities. There are also language exchange groups where expats can practice their Spanish with locals and other expats. These groups often meet in casual settings like cafes or parks, making it a relaxed and fun way to improve language skills and make new friends. For those interested in the arts, there are dance classes, particularly for salsa and merengue, which are integral parts of Dominican culture. Joining these classes not only provides a fun activity but also a deeper understanding of the local culture. Expats also meet people through volunteering. There are numerous opportunities to give back to the community, from teaching English to helping with local conservation efforts. Volunteering is a great way to meet like-minded individuals and form meaningful connections. In addition to joining clubs and activities, expats often meet people through social events and gatherings. Many expats host international potluck dinners, where everyone brings a dish from their home country. These events are a great way to meet people from all over the world and learn about different cultures. Finally, many expats meet people simply by being active in the community. This could be through shopping at local markets, attending local festivals and events, or simply striking up a conversation with a neighbor. The people of Boca Chica are known for their friendliness and hospitality, so it's easy to make new friends and feel at home," said one person in Boca Chica.
