It’s the Caribbean capital of windsurfing, one of those seminal spots where a few intrepid surfers turned an empty beach into a Mecca. 

And it’s easy to spend a moment daydreaming about the breezy, fun-loving vibes of Lac Bay in Bonaire, a place where the waves seem to get you whether you’re on a board or not. 

It’s all there: the toes-in-the-sand beach bar, the energetic, youthful vibe and the marvelous, shallow turquoise waters of Bonaire’s southeastern corner. 

So take yourself there digitally right now, to the cool winds and the surf shacks and the smiles. 

At least you won’t have to worry about losing your balance.
