1000 Steps, Bonaire
Despite the name, it’s far fewer than a thousand — but the descent delivers you to one of Bonaire’s signature shore snorkeling spots. The water is instant blue, with reef formations that begin close to the beach and continue outward in stair-step layers. Parrotfish, trumpetfish and sea turtles are common sightings, and the typically calm conditions make it easy to take your time drifting along the limestone ledge. It’s classic Bonaire: simple entry, rich reef, no boats required.
