The secluded Texas beachside community of Boca Chica Village was once a haven for retirees, snowbirds and outdoorsy people who enjoyed dirt biking, fishing or lounging near the water.
Today, traffic backs up the lone highway out of the unincorporated area that’s now home to only about half a dozen residents and SpaceX’s Starship facility.
