Boca Chica Village is a tiny community down in Cameron County, Texas, right on the Gulf Coast near the Mexican border. It’s about 20 miles east of Brownsville, tucked between the Rio Grande and the ocean. The area is super remote, with just one road leading in and out. What used to be a quiet beachside spot has turned into a pretty famous place because of SpaceX. These days, people know Boca Chica mainly for rocket launches rather than for being a sleepy beach town.
