Coordinates for Boca Chica from Wikipedia. Per the Virgintino guide (~2015): Banco Popular ATMs at the SW corner of the park; a small supermarket at the SE corner; the Olé supermarket on the airport road accepts cards and offered free rides back (verify locally). Marina ZarPar lists courtesy shopping rides twice a day. A beach path links Andrés and Boca Chica: walk it only in daylight. The beach is famous for fry-fish shacks selling red snapper, tostones and yaniqueques (GoDominicanRepublic). Lively nightlife: watch valuables.
