Tourist Trap: As the beach in Juan Dolio...

As the beach in Juan Dolio wasn't particularly nice, we went to the Boca Chica beach, about half an hour from there.We went by bus with the locals, boy, what a ride, they go fast and are not very careful, but anyway we got there safe...
On the beach which is the public beach, every local stand owners will want to 'rent' you a chair on their territory, and will go get you your drinks at the bar while you enjoy the sun, they tell you to pay at the end of the day, not to bother you with paying each time you order, but, at when you are ready to leave, they bring you the tab, which is VERY exagerated and, while you try to bring him to his sense as for the price, you are circled with 5 or 6 men that leave you with no choice but to pay whatever they say it cost!
The beach there is beautiful, but the price is high.......
