Bonaire - Dutch Antilles

Bonaire is a Caribbean island east of Central America and north of Venezuela. The island is part of the Dutch Antilles. The island is flat with a few hills, scant vegetation, white sandy beaches and salt. The northern part of the island is an arid protected park. The southern tip of the island is a great field for sea salt production.

Bonaire is popular with scuba divers and snorkelers because the island is surrounded by coral reefs for miles in every direction. Wind surfers also frequent the island, as the north side of the island (which is facing the Caribbean Sea) has the large waves and wind gusts needed for windsurfing.
