Windsurfers in Bonaire Dutch Caribbean Postcard

Bonaire, a small island in the Dutch Caribbean, is a world-renowned destination for water sports—especially windsurfing. With steady trade winds, warm shallow waters, and year-round sunshine, Bonaire offers some of the most ideal windsurfing conditions in the Caribbean. The island’s top spot for the sport is Lac Bay, located on the eastern side of Bonaire. This protected lagoon features crystal-clear, waist-deep water and consistent onshore winds, making it perfect for both beginners and advanced windsurfers alike. The flat, calm surface of the bay allows for easy learning and freestyle tricks, while the reef offshore protects the area from large swells. Lac Bay has developed into a vibrant windsurfing hub, complete with gear rental shops, schools, and beach bars where you can relax between sessions. It’s also home to some of the Caribbean’s top windsurfing talent, and international competitions are sometimes held here, drawing pros from around the world. Whether you're new to windsurfing or a seasoned rider, the laid-back vibe, natural beauty, and top-notch wind conditions make Bonaire a must-visit destination for anyone passionate about the sport. And when the sails are down, the island’s pristine reefs and marine parks offer incredible snorkelling and diving, making it a true paradise for ocean lovers.
