Most of the beaches on Bonaire are public with the exception of Harbour
Village Resort where access is rectricted to guests and to those who have
paid an entrance fee. Public nudity of any kind is illegal and insulting
to the local people, except on Sorobon Beach (a privately owned nudist resort).
Topless sunbathing and swimming is tolerated on non-locally used beaches.

Playa Chikitu
Lying in Washington National Park, Playa Chikutu is beautiful, but, alas, swimming is forbidden
due to the enormous waves and the dangers that lurk underwater. You would be swept off your feet
right after you walked in due to a strong current that passes the island on the north coast

Boka Kokolishi
Also situated on the North Coast, Boka Kokolishi is not suited for swimming, but it is a beautiful place
to hike along the rugged shoreline with its typical round shaped pools made of lava stone. |

Boka Bartol
This shore dive is the northernmost site in the Marine Park. Advanced divers may encounter
strong currents. The recommended depth is from 20-80 feet, with interesting coral formations
in the shallows. Many of the larger fish species abound, and there is a chance to see rays
and Garden Eels in the sandy bottom.

Playa Funchi
Lying on the Westernmost tip of the island, Playa Fuchi is definitely worth visiting when
you want to see iguana's and lizards that roam around freely. It's also one of the
recommended sites for a Bonaire Guide Snorkel.

Playa Frans
At the North Point near Slagbaai. Hard to reach but definitely worth the effort.
A very intimate place, with a quiet surf. You will love it there. But don't tell
anyone, it's not a big place...

1000 Steps Beach

1000 Steps Beach
Why is it called Thousand Steps? Because it is a long way down from the road. No problem
for the young and well-trained, but when you are taking your scuba gear it requires quite
an effort. The reward is that there are not many people even though is it a beautiful spot. |
Bachelor Beach

|
Bachelor Beach
Just a few hundres yards south of Playa Mangel is a staircase that leads to a thin strip
of sand and a really great place fo a swim. Although there are no real tides on Bonaire,
when the water is high it is difficult to lay out so check the waves before spreading
your beach towel.
