Bonaire island - all beaches

This beach is a fantastic spot for night diving, with a very convenient entry point.

You can't beat staying in a condo within a resort! We enjoyed all the comforts of home while being just steps away from a private sandy beach, where I encountered more wildlife than anywhere else on the island (including two octopuses, huge eels, sea cucumbers, spotted drum, lionfish, scorpionfish, conch, massive tarpon, flounders, puffers, angels, anemones, and parrotfish). Additionally, we had daily housekeeping, room service, beach service, a spa, a dive shop, boat trips, and a souvenir/sundry shop at our disposal. Another fantastic feature is that 100% of the beach chairs, tables, and hammocks are shaded by dense palm trees, and even during peak hours of spring break, only 20% were occupied. There was always a table available at the restaurant, which offered great service, an excellent breakfast, a good lunch, and a passable dinner. Plus, there are plenty of great dining options within walking distance. With ample parking in Bonaire (even downtown) and driving on the right side, you can easily reach almost anywhere in 15 minutes. This has now become our second favorite lodging of all our travels. The only downside is the laundry situation—there are no washer-dryers in the beachfront condos (even for a fee), and while they do offer laundry service, it's not included and requires filling out a form (we had a one-day turnaround). Our favorite place (Tulemar in Costa Rica) offers the same amenities (except the wildlife is on land) but includes laundry service in the price, where you simply leave your clothes on the bathroom floor, and they return them clean.

The beach was stunning and conveniently located just a $5 fare away from our cruise port. Entry was free of charge. It's known for its refreshing breeze and is a popular spot for windsurfers. You can kick back at one of the laid-back beach bars and enjoy the view.

The ocean's crystal-clear waters at this beach are nothing short of spectacular, making it an ideal spot for snorkeling and scuba diving enthusiasts alike.

The beach is truly delightful, with crystal clear water that shimmers in a light blue hue. It's a perfect spot to catch a glimpse of sea turtles swimming in the distance. The area is also teeming with a variety of birds, and if you're lucky, you may even spot a colorful parrot. It's recommended to bring a pair of water shoes along to fully enjoy this beach experience.

The beach was absolutely stunning! During our visit, we were fortunate enough to spot an eagle ray, several turtles, a barracuda, and a variety of beautiful fish. The beach line was breathtaking, and the ocean was simply gorgeous.
