1000 Steps

Name: 1000 Steps
Address: Bonaire, Caribbean Netherlands

Dive and snorkel spot on the west coast, north of Kralendijk. A staircase of 67 steps leads to the reef, where you'll often see turtles.

The name is a joke: the staircase has 67 steps, but with dive gear on your back the climb back up feels like a thousand. The reef starts a few metres from the shore, and you'll often see sea turtles here.

The spot is about 9 kilometres north of Kralendijk on the coast road; yellow stones along the roadside mark it. There are no toilets, showers or shade, so bring water and water shoes. You'll need the STINAPA Nature Fee for snorkelling and diving.
