πŸ“‹ The Bottom Line

Kralendijk is Bonaire's small capital - more village than city. The waterfront boulevard is flat and pleasant for strolling, and you'll rarely encounter crowds. However, facilities are basic: few elevators, limited changing rooms, and essentially no public transit. The island is primarily a diving destination, so family infrastructure is minimal. What it lacks in amenities, it makes up for in peace, quiet, and incredibly friendly locals.
