Atlantis Beach
Atlantis Kite Beach, Kralendijk, Bonaire
Atlantis Beach is Bonaire's only officially designated wind sports zone, and it earns that status every single day. Consistent easterly trade winds of 17 to 22 knots blow over flat water protected by an offshore reef, with warm 27 degree water and a sandy beach for easy entry. Two established schools operate on site with rescue boats. All levels welcome — from your very first wingfoil lesson to high-speed freeride runs.
Best months: December, January, February, March, April, May, June, July
Wind directions: E, NE
Water: Flat
Bottom: Sand, Reef
Sports: Wingfoil, Kitesurf
Local tips
Wind turns side offshore after 5 pm, making the return upwind much harder. Be off the water before sunset and use the marked entry and exit zones to protect the coral reef.
