The story

Fiestas Patronales San Andres in Boca Chica

Boca Chica, the Santo Domingo-area beach resort town, would honor San Andres Apostol, patron of fishermen, on November 30, though available sourcing on this specific patronal tradition is thin relative to the town's much better documented identity as a beach and lagoon tourism destination for capital-area visitors.

Boca Chica, the beach resort town on Santo Domingo's eastern metropolitan coast known nationally for its calm, reef-protected swimming lagoon, would honor San Andres Apostol as patron, with the saint's fixed Catholic feast day falling on November 30.
