2 Best Sights in Bonaire

Directly across the road from the Radio Nederland towers on the main road north, you'll see a short yellow marker that points to the location of these limestone stairs carved right out of the cliff. They lead to a lovely coral beach and protected cove where you can snorkel and dive. Although there are really only 67 steps, it feels like there are 1,000 of them when you walk back up carrying scuba gear.

Just off the main road, this spot, at 394 feet in elevation, is one of the highest on the island. A paved but narrow and twisting road leads to a magnificent daytime view of Kralendijk's rooftops and the island of Klein Bonaire. A large cross and figure of Christ stand guard at the peak, with an inscription reading ayera (yesterday), awe (today), and semper (always). Many locals make their daily hike up the hill for a vigorous workout.
