It was amazing to see the mounds of salt and the pier used to deliver the salt to ships. The pier itself is quite amazing in size and structure. What was disappointing was the large number of people diving in the immediate area that were smoking on the beach and leaving their cigarette butts in the sand, and others with plastic water bottles left sitting in the sand where the surf could get them.

Bonaire has a stunning landscape and seascape. Salt Pier is one of it. The crystal clear and warm waters are everywhere and the amazing sceneries are eye-catching. One of the ways to see Salt Pier is by bike and the road leading to the Salt Pier and Salt Mountain is up to par.

Bonaire is primary a dive destination and for us not participating in it there're very few attractions. We had only 7 hours to spend here during our cruise, so we rented a car and drove around the entire island. The salt pier is some 15 min drive south from Kralendijk and cruise port and you cannot miss it driving the coastal road. It was interesting to see the salt ponds and pure white salt mountains, as well the huge salt transportation structure. However, it's just a 10 min photo stop and you cannot enter the premises.

We drove ourselves to see the salt flats and it was fantastic. It was so interesting to see the equipment scraping the salt and the conveyor systems. Definitely, a place to visit. By the terminal pier, they have a box of salt crystals that you can take as a souvenir.

I was there with my 4 teenagers and my wife. It’s pretty amazing because you can snorkel right off the beach and see a ton of tropical fish just 20 foot from the shore. I do caution you though to have some type of flotation devices. I looked Up at one point and my kids had went further than I was comfortable with . A few had life jackets etc. (I know, I know,). Anyhow, when we had been floating around you didn’t realize how hard it was to swim BACK to shore. I went to get them bc they couldn’t hear me. The current wasn’t what I had experienced before where it was pulling us out, but it really wore us out getting back in. I have my daughter my float and told her to get away. I barely made it back to a place I was able to stand up. I definitely wouldn’t have made it another 20’. We were on a cruise and the next day I met a guy from Illinois that had the same exact thing happen to him and his family. Yes, we should’ve been better prepared but there were no warning signs so I am just hoping to keep this from happening to anyone else. On the positive side, it was definitely a spot worth stopping and seeing. Just be cautious and safe.
