Lac Bay

Lac Bay is a huge, shallow inlet on the east side of Bonaire.  The reef lies at the mouth of the bay and stops the waves. Most of the bay water level is only about 4 feet.  You can walk the entire area which is 7 square kilometers but it is slow because you are wading through the water.  Mangroves cover the north end of the bay and is a nursery for fish and birds.

This is only 4 miles from our house.  It is the main wind surfing spot on the island. No boats allowed. However, when we were there there was no wind. It was super hot and muggy.

The Sorobon Resort houses rustic cabins right on the beach.  There is a great beach bar and lounge chairs from which you can see all the action. We ate lunch at the resort.  It was full of Dutch families on holiday. 

This time of year is a big holiday season on the island and ,I guess, in Holland as well.  There is Easter, Carnival, Kings Day (April 27), and Dia Di Rincon (which was cancelled due to Covid). Schools are out for almost a month for "Spring Break".

Usually this beach is packed with tourists.  This day, with no wind, the place looks deserted. We love deserted beaches.  We hung around for the afternoon and enjoyed solitude.
