This dive site, Pink Beach (53), is a classic southern Bonaire shore dive characterized by a gentle sandy slope that gradually transitions into a vibrant coral reef system. Divers can easily navigate by following the reef, which runs parallel to the shore. There is no specific historical story provided for this site, but its accessibility and natural beauty make it a popular spot for both divers and non-divers alike.
The marine life here is representative of the typical Caribbean ecosystem. Divers can expect to encounter nurse and reef sharks patrolling the area, along with possible sightings of graceful eagle rays and stingrays. The reef teems with an abundance of colorful fish, including various species of snapper, angelfish, grunts, and parrotfish, all contributing to a rich and diverse underwater spectacle.
Bonaire offers excellent diving year-round, making any time a good time to visit Pink Beach. This site is particularly suitable for family trips, as non-diving companions can enjoy the namesake pink beach and snorkel directly from shore while divers explore the reef. Its relatively shallow maximum depth and mild conditions make it ideal for beginner divers and freedivers looking for an easy, yet rewarding, underwater experience.
