The Beach Club “The Beach Bonaire“ is right across from the Grand Windsock Resort, and it's one of the island's most beautiful and coziest beach clubs, plus it has a restaurant and a bar.
With your feet in the sand, you can enjoy delicious food & cocktails here, gaze at the azure Caribbean Sea, and cool off in the crystal-clear water.
ACTIVITIES
- Wind & Kitesurfing
Bonaire is a true paradise for wind & kitesurfers. Surf pros have even named the island one of the Top 10 surf spots in the world. The consistently good wind, calm sea, and water temperature of 28° Celsius make it absolutely perfect.
Windsurfing has become one of the most popular water sports on Bonaire, especially in Lac Bay, which is protected by coral reefs. The lagoon is shallow, and the wind always blows from the sea towards the coast, so windsurfers never get blown out into the ocean.
Kitesurfers often get to hang out with dolphins that swim and dive right alongside them, totally unafraid of people. It's a really special experience and something unique to Bonaire!
Bonaire's underwater world is absolutely fascinating with its impressive coral reefs that start at just 5 meters (about 16 feet) deep, and it's also loved for its long-forgotten shipwrecks and a huge variety of nearly 500 different fish species.
The island's dive sites are protected from strong currents because of their location, making them an unforgettable experience for both beginners and advanced divers. Come enjoy the incredible marine diversity with countless diving, snorkeling, and windsurfing opportunities.
On Bonaire, you can dive from both land and boat. For those dive sites further out in the Bonaire National Marine Park, you should definitely plan for a few boat dives.
The sea conditions stay super stable throughout the season, and you can look forward to water temperatures of around 29° Celsius (about 84° Fahrenheit) and air temperatures up to 31° Celsius (about 88° Fahrenheit).
During this time, you can perfectly combine your dives with some chill hours on one of the 22 pearly white sand beaches or by exploring the island.
WANNADIVE DIVE CENTER
The WannaDive dive center, which belongs to the Grand Windsock Resort, is on-site and fully equipped, with a multilingual crew. They offer guests all sorts of diving activities at various dive sites all around Bonaire, an island famous for being a diving paradise.
Whether you're a beginner looking for a half-day intro course, an experienced diver wanting to explore, or interested in technical diving, boat dives, or getting certified – there's something for every dive level here!
DIVE SITES
Similar to the rest of the island's tourism, most of the diving takes place on the west coast.
You'll discover about 85 dive spots along the coastal road, most of them clearly marked with signs and yellow stones.
You'll also find more dive spots with some of the world's most stunning coral reefs around the nearby island of "Klein Bonaire".
If you're coming from Austria, the easiest way to reach the ABC island of Bonaire – the diving gem of the Southern Caribbean – is by flying via Amsterdam.
Since the best way to explore Bonaire, especially for diving, is by rental car, we recommend renting a car at the airport when you arrive for the duration of your stay. It'll get you to the Grand Windsock Resort in about a 5-minute drive.
