Easy entry, great views. Busy, so we recommend going earlier in the day. Coral quality has gone down since we last visited. This site has gone down on my list of preferred snorkel locations after this most recent visit.

Beautiful clear water, very little current, and convenient location close to the airport and town. However, tons of people. If you want to party some, go in the evening. People are usually playing music with sound systems on their vehicles.

The beach is beautiful, though the stairway and rocks you pass to get to the water could be challenging if you have knee issues. But way too crowded, and the reef was not in good shape. Not recommended for snorkelling, I saw more snorkelling by my hotel!

Many people recommended to snorkel the Bachelor beach, so we did. Once was more than enough. It is a nice place if you want to relax on the beach but if you are serious snorkeler, don't waste your time here, there are much better places either on the north, south or in the park.

By far….. the best beach I have ever visited in my life.
We stumbled upon this gem on my last cruise in June 2019. You have to visit this beach to understand- the water colors - the sky- the coral. The soft sand that felt like walking on baking flour. Just amazing.

We were lucky enough to be at this lovely snorkel spot at the same time as a great ball of Makerel. That was amazing as were flounder, big parrot fish, and spotted moreys. Pretty easy entry down some steps with a railing to a sandy area. Reef was about 50 feet off shore. Good parking.

The name “Bachelors Beach” is a misnomer as there is only a small sliver of sand at low tide, accessed by a small staircase.
The water is blue and warm, very good for snorkeling.
It is a great place to watch the sunset.

This was a very easily accessible dive spot. There's a concrete stairwell going down to the water so entering and exiting with all your gear is a breeze. The parking lot is a little sketchy....condoms and empty beer bottles on the ground. We were warned at our dive shop to lock up all valuables in your car because of the high number of robberies. Many suspicious looking individuals would slowly drive through the parking lot....if you're not there to dive, there's no reason for you to be there. Use caution and common sense.

Bonaire is absolutely amazing if you’re into snorkeling or diving. MUST rent a vehicle to get around though as there’s only a few sidewalks in the downtown area, the rest of the island is not at all pedestrian friendly with narrow roads and gravel shoulder if any at all. Super windy, hot and humid every day but that’s wonderful when you’re tired of the cold. Everything is very expensive here so if you’re on a budget, make sure your accommodations has a kitchen so that you can make at least some of your meals. There’s a lot of donkeys around, just hanging out…super cute and a huge donkey sanctuary on island too…great fun to visit and hang with them. The diving is pretty outstanding, lots of shore dives so it’s not necessary to pay the bigger bucks for boat diving. Bring your own gear if you have it since that too is incredibly expensive here. Make sure you eat breakfast or lunch at Between Two Buns, best food we had here/ fries are to die for. Food trucks are abundant around the island, usually on the beaches and they’re great, particularly the double decker red bus. Have fun, we sure did!

How far from shore do you have to go to see anything while snorkeling?
