Mejores playas de snorkel de Bonaire

Bonaire is famous for snorkelling and shore diving: on many sites the reef starts close to shore. That sounds easy, but surge, stairs, park roads and crowds decide the day. This guide picks snorkel beaches for water quality and access – not only drone beauty shots.

We use BonPlaya community scores (1-10) and reviews, plus editorial judgement. West-coast classics like 1000 Steps and Bachelor's often shine underwater but need fitness or water shoes. No Name is spectacular but heavier logistics (water taxi). Park beaches like Playa Funchi and Wayaka reward planning. Lac Bay is shallow and windy – great for kids or windsurf, rarely the best deep-reef snorkel.

Practical: STINAPA Nature Fee is required for snorkelling and diving on the reef. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, water and shade. Go early for calm and visibility. Read critical reviews: they flag rocky entries and surge faster than brochure copy.
