Just a short drive from Kralendijk lies Lac Bay, a protected inlet that embodies the beauty of the Caribbean. The shallows here extend for close to a quarter mile, and the bottom is flat and sandy. You can walk and walk and the turquoise water will still only reach your waist. At about 300 yards out, the shelf drops abruptly into deep blue sea, where advanced scuba divers can explore the Blue Hole dive site and see stingrays, sharks, and tarpon. Most visitors to the south side of Lac Bay are there to enjoy the beach and the water and to windsurf. With the shallow flats and a constant breeze, Lac Bay is one of the windsurfing capitals of the world, and many enthusiasts come to spend a day on the water. A windsurfing school is here, for those who’d like to learn. Sebastian’s, a beachside bar and restaurant, caters to the swimsuit crowd and is open for lunch.
A drive around the Lac Bay brings you to the northern section. The road is rough and unpaved, and not recommended unless you have a four-wheel drive. You’ll encounter wild donkeys and flamingos, as this area is a RAMSAR site (important wetlands recognized by the United Nations). Not only do flamingos congregate here. This part of Lac Bay is a protected mangrove forest, and seahorses and conch breed and have their babies here. Visitors can only enter this part of the bay accompanied by a certified guide. The Mangrove and Kayak Center is located on the approach to the northern bay. This is where you can make arrangements to take a guided kayak trip into the mangrove forest. Several Bonaire outfitters also offer tours.
Definitely worth a day trip — or longer — to experience this side of the island!

This is the best place in the world to see windsurfers doing all kinds of cool things. They have a school there if you want to learn. The water in the Bay is perfect for windsurfers, especially beginners who may fall off their boards several times while learning. The water is only about waist high in most places which makes getting back on your board much easier than in deeper water. They always have nice winds there as well.
There are a few restaurants and bars in the area, as well as a nice beach. Great people watching, particularly on the weekend when the locals bring their families out for a BBQ.

This is an easy accessible bay with a nice beach. Has a free parking lot in front.
It's located around the middle of the island on the east coast.
Sea is calm and pretty shallow. Several bars around and places to rent surf gear. Good for a quick dip as Bonaire hasn't got that many easy access beaches - most are for diving.

The wind is high and water is beautiful, but the area near the beach is dumpy and needs to be cleaned up. Bad roads and thousands of cruise ship guests littering and jumping in the water with tanning oil on is making it worse.

We snorkeled at Lac Bay twice during our early December visit to Bonaire. Some of the best snorkeling of the week and well worth the 20+ minute walk through the shallow are to begin swimming.

No restrooms! Yup. BUT the local shack sells beer and soda. No foods. The beach has soft sand but is so shallow that you have to walk quite a ways into the water to really swim or snorkel. I would not make a special trip to swim here. Nope. There is a small area to park cars, buses and bikes.

The used motor oil dump by the toilets is disgusting and is likely leaking into the water table. Hopefully it will get cleaned up soon!

We stopped here while exploring the island. The beach is beautiful, with lots of white sand and beautiful blue water.

Lac Bay is a must see for those who windsurf as well as those who don't. Lots of activity going on and the restaurant there has great views of the bay, good drinks and decent food. While we don't windsurf, we still went there for an "after dive" drinks and meal.

La spiaggia del windsurf di Bonaire, uno spettacolo della natura! L’acquq arriva al massimo a un metro, un metro e 20 e con la sabbia bianca sembra di stare in una piscina della quale non si vede la fine. Sono stato qui una mattina di giugno e ci saranno state si e no 20 persone, uno spettacolo di relax. È vero che ci sono i windsurfisti ma c’è uno spazio enorme per tutti. Ci sono 2 piccoli stabilimenti, l’Hang Out beach ed il Sebastian’s che offrono lettini a 5$ e cibi e bevande. Si sta magnificamente

What is the nearest beach to cruise port?

The beach by the airport has really good snorkelling. It is easy to enter the water because it is a sand beach. There is also a food truck right there in the car park where they have great food.

Agree with others that answered, it is not far but definitely
need some type of transportation (forget walking!). About half an hour to get there, the roads are rough so whatever mode of transportation you choose it will be a slowish ride.

Hi. You mentioned the your visit to Lac Bay was part of a tour. Could you tell me who the tour was with and if you had time to windsurf while you stopped at the beach. Thank you

I also was not on a tour. If you really want to do your own thing I would rec renting a car or taking a taxi. If you want windsurfing Jibe City has all you need.

Hey travellers. I don’t drive in other countries because I’m too anxious ( I know, dork alert) I’m having a hard time negotiating the busses... pretty limited and random times. Is a taxi the only public transport available to go the the national park? Donkey/ flamingo sanctuaries? Backpacking solo for a month , so trying to keep on a reasonable budget . Thanks!!

Getting to all of the places you want to do will be difficult without a car. Brenda at H20 Bonaire does island tours as well as water tours so that may be your best bet. Bonaire is small so you could do quite a few of those places in one tour. Brenda does private tours and I thought her prices were reasonable. That said driving in Bonaire isnt difficult and except in small downtown area very little traffic. And to correct a statement Ive seen by numerous people...driving in Bonaire is on the RIGHT side of the road. It is no different than in US or Canada. This is a Dutch territory not British. The same is true for Curacao. Happy travels.

Is there a cost to go to Lac Bay

To just go to Lac Bay, there is no charge. You can just park and go in the water either swimming or snorkeling or windsurfing if you have your own equipment. If you want to rent a lounge chair, rent equipment or eat - there are charges. Shallow water - great for kids. If it's a high wind day, it's a bit tougher to swim as there are many boards in the water.
