Bonaire is a Caribbean island east of Central America and north of Venezuela. The island is part of the ABC Islands together with Aruba and Cura\u00e7ao. It is a flat, riverless island renowned for its dive spots. Bonaire lies about 50 Miles (80 km) off the coast of Venezuela on the continental shelf of South America, and is thus geologically considered a part of the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourism is one of the major industries of the island, and 80% of snowbirds who come to the island come to scuba dive. Bonaire is often considered the top best scuba dive destination in the Caribbean. The colorful coral reef that circles the island is lush and diverse, and its proximity to the island makes for spectacular and convenient shore diving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second major source of tourism on the island is cruise ship snowbirds whose boats dock for a single day and then depart at night. With a local population of only 18000, the visiting snowbirds of 3000 or 4000 person cruise liner have a significant influence on the island, particularly in downtown Kralendijk where the ships dock. The two towns on the island are Kralendijk (the capital) and Rincon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
