About this site
South Bay lies along the leeward coast of Bonaire, the Dutch Caribbean island known for its fringing reef system protected as a marine park. Sites along this stretch of shoreline are typically shore accessible, marked by the island's signature yellow stones, and reachable by simply parking along the coastal road. South Bay itself is rated a beginner dive with a maximum depth of around 15 metres, making it a straightforward entry point onto the reef.
