Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Hato Beach (Saint Barthelemy) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Hato Beach (Saint Barthelemy) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Hato Beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

The beach is a great spot for diving, with easy access and a wall dive. While it's possible to go deep, it's not necessary as there are plenty of beautiful fish to discover above 18 meters below sea level.

The beach offers an incredible diving experience! We had the opportunity to snorkel and dive during both daytime and nighttime, which provided us with a completely unique experience as more creatures emerged at night. To find the best snorkeling spots, head down the coast where you'll find an abundance of fire coral and a variety of creatures. During the night, tarpons would appear in the shallows and swim alongside us, while we also encountered several eels and turtles. The dive shop provided convenient access and ample parking facilities.

There is plenty to observe at this beach. We witnessed small turtles peacefully munching on their meals, encountered several small groups of fish, and were amazed by the impressive coral and sponges. Our dive experience here was truly enjoyable!

The Dive Friends Bonaire Hamlet Oasis site offers a great diving experience with a nice dive site nearby. It is a wall dive that showcases an abundance of fish and stunning coral formations. Don't forget to visit the diving memorial located on the reef crest. If you continue diving south along the wall, you will come across a wreck that is not marked on the site map in the shop. According to the staff, this wreck is the same one found at the La Machaca site to the south. Based on my conversations, it appears that this is a more convenient way to explore the wreck without having to interact with the staff at Captain Don's Habitat, especially if you are not staying there as a guest.
