1000 Steps
Descend limestone steps to a small bay, with steep reef walls and frequent sea turtles. It is Bonaire's most popular shore dive.
The 1000 Steps actually number only about 67, but climbing back up with a tank on your back feels like a thousand, hence the name. At the foot of the steps lies a small bay of white gravel. Entering the water, you find a reef flat, and beyond it steep reef walls where sea turtles, rays, and plenty of reef fish are common. Snorkeling is just as rewarding. It is located on the northern coastal road about 15 minutes' drive north of Kralendijk, marked by yellow stones. Entry is free apart from a nature fee. There are no facilities, so remember sunscreen.
