Sorobon beach - Bonaire
Bonaire is mostly known because its exceptional diving. And it's true: one of the most amazing places for diving, especially shore diving.
However there is this fantastic natural salt water lagoon in Sorobon,LacBay where most people go to windsurf. Not only experts but also they ones who want to try it for the first time. A couple of places to stay offer packages to spend the night and take lessons so you do not have to go to "the city". Very nice place to spend a few days if you want to have a diving+beach+windsurf vacation. By the way, food is excellent in Bonaire.

Bonaire Dive Sites
This is one of the favourite dive sites in Bonaire. The wonders of the undersea world have been looked after by the Bonaire Marine Park and hence why Bonaire Scuba Diving is among the best diving in the Caribbean. The wreck of the Hilma Hooker is perhaps one of the better dive sites. It has a max depth of around 30 m and is suitable for intermediate divers. There is a good narrated video of the Hilma Hooker here.
