Description
Te Amo Beach is one of Bonaire’s most easily accessible and beloved beaches, located just across from Flamingo International Airport. The name “Te Amo” means “I love you” in Spanish, and once you set foot on its soft white sand and see the crystal-clear turquoise water, you’ll understand why.
This beach is perfect for relaxing, swimming, and snorkeling. Unlike many of Bonaire’s rocky shores, Te Amo Beach has a gentle sandy entrance, making it ideal for wading into the warm Caribbean Sea. Just a few meters offshore, a natural reef teems with colorful fish, sea turtles, and even the occasional eagle ray. Snorkeling here is easy and rewarding, as the water is calm and incredibly clear.
One of the best things about Te Amo Beach is its spectacular sunset views. With an open horizon stretching across the Caribbean, it’s an ideal spot to watch the sun dip below the water, painting the sky in shades of orange, pink, and purple.
For those who love a casual beachside meal, a local food truck often parks nearby, serving fresh seafood, burgers, and ice-cold drinks. The combination of good food, warm sand, and a stunning ocean view makes it a favorite spot for both locals and visitors.
There are no permanent facilities like beach chairs or umbrellas, so it’s a good idea to bring your own shade if you plan to stay a while. The proximity to the airport adds a unique touch, as small planes occasionally pass overhead, making for an interesting sight while you relax by the sea. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick swim or spending a lazy afternoon in the sun, Te Amo Beach is a must-visit spot in Bonaire.
