Bonaire, Caribbean island in Leeward Antilles, Netherlands
Located 80 kilometers north of Venezuela, Bonaire extends over 294 square kilometers of land surrounded by coral reefs and turquoise waters.
The island shifted from Spanish control to Dutch administration in the 17th century, becoming a significant center for salt production through enslaved labor.
The population speaks multiple languages including Papiamentu, Dutch, and English, while maintaining traditions through festivals like Simadan and local music.
Visitors can access 86 marked dive sites directly from the shore without requiring boats, making it convenient for underwater exploration throughout the year.
The Pekelmeer Flamingo Sanctuary contains one of four flamingo breeding locations in the Western Hemisphere, supporting substantial populations of these pink birds.
