Easy beach entry. Lots of marine life. Very relaxing and enjoyable. One thing to know, if you are not staying at the Van der Valk Resort, access can be tricky. While beaches are public the resorts do not have to let you go through their property to access them. This is actually understandable. It is worth the effort!
First dive in Bonaire was at 18 Palms. It was wonderful, lots of aquatic life! Observed all sorts of parrot fish. We saw a lion fish and a spotted eel. We even saw two frog fish at this location! Quite a bit of fire coral so watch your buoyancy.
