Lac Cai sits on the north side of Lac Bay, the large shallow lagoon on Bonaire’s east coast. The water is clear and usually calm — ideal for wading, swimming and exploring the mangrove setting.
You’ll mostly find locals and people avoiding the busier Sorobon. With luck you may see green sea turtles grazing in the seagrass. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and respect nature: don’t touch coral or wildlife.

Rustiger dan Sorobon
“Heerlijk rustig vergeleken met Sorobon. Ondiep water, mangroven en we zagen twee schildpadden. Locals overal, fijne sfeer. Alleen wat lastig te bereiken over de zandweg.”

Waden met de kids
“Perfect om te waden met de kids. Water is warm en kalm. Weinig schaduw, dus parasol meenemen. Geen faciliteiten, wel heel relaxed.”

Schildpadden op zondag
“Mooie plek, maar op zondag best druk met families. Schildpadden gezien, dat was top. Neem rifvriendelijke zonnebrand mee.”
