Walking directions to Windsock (Airport) beach?

[lightsleeper]

Can anyone provide walking directions from the cruise dock to Windsock (Airport) beach and how you would know you were at the beach. I understand this is an acceptable place to snorkel and within walking distance.

Our group of six cruisers are also interested in this information. We are considering doing some snorkeling there. If Windsock beach is not within walking distance, does anyone know what the taxi fare is to get there?

We are going to be in Bonaire in April 08. I have been researching Windsock Beach and have read very favorable things about the snorkeling there :) From what I gather, you cannot walk to this beach. It is a $10 one-way cab ride there and you must arrange for the driver to come back at a specified time for the return trip as you won't find cabs at the beach waiting for someone who needs a ride. The beach has a few trees and the ocean - that's it, no restrooms, bars, chairs, etc. but if you have your own equipment, it is supposed to have some of the most amazing snorkeling in Bonaire. I am looking forward to snorkeling this beach :D

 

Happy Cruising,
