Your windsurfing holiday on Bonaire starts here.
Bonaire is an extremely popular holiday destination for windsurfers, and not without reason. Almost nowhere in the world will you find such ideal conditions as on Bonaire. People from all corners of the world come to this island for a windsurfing holiday.
Lac Bay: the best place to surf on Bonaire
Anyone wanting to windsurf on Bonaire heads to Lac Bay, also known as Sorobon Beach. In this 8 km² lagoon on the southeast side of Bonaire, an ideal onshore wind can always be expected. This explains why Lac Bay consistently appears on lists of the best surf destinations in the world. In addition to the constant good wind, the area also offers breathtaking views. Even if you don't surf yourself, it is a joy to watch the surfers gliding across the water. It is important to mention that Lac Bay is best reached by private transport. We therefore recommend renting a car.

Check this before you go windsurfing on Bonaire
The waters surrounding Bonaire are part of an extensive protected area. The sea and nature are crucial for Bonaire, and therefore everyone wishing to participate in water sports must pay a Nature Fee. This is a one-time, annual contribution that you must pay before you can engage in your water sports activity. The proceeds from these Nature Fees are used to support various projects aimed at preserving nature on Bonaire. You can purchase your Nature Fee via the STINAPA website or at surf schools on Bonaire. If you need assistance, you can always go to the reception at Windhoek Luxe Resort Bonaire.
