Bring your binoculars and your scuba gear to make the most of Bonaire's natural charms: more than 200 different species of birds live here, and the island itself draws divers from around the world to its reef-lined coast, a National Maritime Park.

Very pretty beach on a lagoon off the southeast coast.

The north side of Lac Bay has this quaint little spot that's not very crowded. Very relaxing on the nice beach and calm waters.

It was definitely worth the drive out there. We took the short road going out cut an hour off the trip. Make sure to pack a lunch and drinks. Nice beach and the cliff jump is a must do.

Slave Huts at White Pan

"Pink beach" on the southwestern coast bearing cubby-house-sized stone huts in which slaves working the saltpans used to sleep.

Reviewed By 09SueP - Maidstone, United Kingdom

Fascinating assortment of huts on the beach, close to the sea. Really small with small entrances. Four slaves used to sleep in each, they had so little room. Probably people in the 17th century were smaller than today. Interesting to see but you don't need too long here.

Bachelor's Beach

Aruba has fantastic windsurfing due to consistently strong trade winds, and this beach located in the southeast of the island is one of the top places for this popular sport.

Reviewed By cameronm16 - Stillwater, United States

We were lucky enough to be at this lovely snorkel spot at the same time as a great ball of Makerel. That was amazing as were flounder, big parrot fish, and spotted moreys. Pretty easy entry down some steps with a railing to a sandy area. Reef was about 50 feet off shore. Good parking.
