Bachelor's Beach, Kralendijk

My number one favorite beach on the whole island. Maybe the prettiest beach i’ve ever seen. Easy to park right next to it and walk a few steps to the water. Was never crowded, and the water is perfectly clear. Great for swimming but also lots of pretty snorkeling right off the beach. We visited here twice and loved every second.

They might have to rename it, considering there is hardly any beach there. You can not take your towel or anything down there that you would not want to get wet or have washed away, since the water periodically rushes up to the rocks. It's a bit of a walk down the steps to the small sliver of a beach and the water. The good news is that the sand is soft, but it gives way to a rougher coral and some large mounds in spots. You need to be a little careful or you might walk right into one and cut your foot. There is a lot of great opportunities for snorkeling and diving and you will see a lot of people come and do just that. There is plenty of parking there. Kong Burger is there periodically and Bloozz resort is right across the street, so you can get something to eat and drink. Te Amo beach is definitely nice, but also much busier.

Treacherous stairs down to a coral rock and then the 'beach' that are not for the infirm When I was there, beach was sandy but depending on the tide, it gets completely covered. There are a couple big coral rocks to sit on. Nice parking lot with overview of the water. Great variety of fish. Saw a goldentail and spotted eel. Most coral by shore is very dead. Drops off into 8-15 ft quickly so it helps if you can dive down. Large soft corals deeper near dropoff.

One of the best dives spots so far on the island

The water here is amazing. Great for snorkeling or scuba.
