The Beach at Plaza Resort Bonaire

Relaxation On The Coral Sands

Bonaire's beaches are not the usual long stretches of white sand found on most Caribbean islands. They are breathtakingly beautiful nonetheless, with rugged shoreline and multicoloured coral sand of white, pink and black from the offshore reef.

Plaza Resort Bonaire's beach is one of the few sandy beaches on the island and is 500m long and 50-100m deep. On our beach you can enjoy sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, diving and beach volleyball, as well as our Coconut Crash Beach Bar. The beach bar is very popular and is open from 11 am until late, serving food and drinks.
