What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Chachacha Beach is praised for its incredibly clear waters and stunning sunset views, making it a convenient spot for a quick swim or snorkel, especially for cruise ship visitors. However, reviewers note it's more of a swimming area than a traditional beach, with a small sandy section and a dock, and some mention rocky entry points.
"More a swimming area than a beach, really - the "beach" part is very small, but there is a short dock. It is an extremely short walk (less than 5 minutes) from the cruise ship dock, so if you just want to take a quick dip in Bonaire's glorious waters, and even get to see a nice bit of snorkeling without going too far, this is a great spot. This picture was taken from a cruise ship so you can see the actual size of the "beach" and how amazingly clear the water is."
