Best Beaches in Bonaire

Bonaire’s coastline offers diverse shorelines, from the shallow, turquoise lagoon of Sorobon Beach, a world-renowned windsurfing hub, to the secluded cove of 1000 Steps, accessible via a limestone staircase. Bachelor’s Beach provides a small strip of sand below a short cliff, while Playa Palu di Mangel sits near the airport for snorkeling and planespotting. Within Washington Slagbaai National Park, Playa Chikitu features high sand dunes and serves as a critical nesting ground for sea turtles, though powerful currents make the water unsuitable for swimming.
