Bonaire's Belmar Oceanfront Apartments

Bonaire may be best known as a top dive destination, but that just skims the surface of the water sports that are gaining attention on the peaceful and relaxing Dutch Caribbean island. Bonaire's best-kept secret? Lac Bay. With over three square miles of tropical blue, the near-perfect windsurfing conditions in this area are ideal for beginners and advanced windsurfers alike.

A favorite of water sports enthusiasts, Lac Bay is blessed with an average water and wind temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit, steady onshore winds between the 15 and 25 knots that are 99.9% guaranteed and sheltered shallow waters. All these key ingredients make Lac Bay one of the Caribbean's best windsurf spot. Beginners can practice in the waist deep gin clear water while the advanced windsurfers can look for the excitement that come with bump and jump chop. For the advanced sailor there is an upwind reach near Lac Cai offering top-notch windsurfing in the waves. The half mile long strand of brown sugar sand makes the beach area one of the most popular sun and fun spot on any given day. Wind,sun and Caribbean blue, it doesn't get much better than that.
