Bonaire
Bonaire (pop. 12,000) is an island in the Netherlands Antilles. Together with Aruba and Curaçao it forms a group referred to as the ABC islands.
Exploiting its natural topography, Bonaire has been a major supplier of salt to the USA for many years, and continues to do so through the flooding of flat-lands with sea water. It is also famed for its flamingo populations and its donkey sanctuary.
Bonaire is world renowned for its excellent scuba diving. The island is ringed by a coral reef that is easily accessible from the shore along the Western and Southern sides.
Lac Bay on the eastern side of the island is a windsurfer's paradise.
Klein Bonaire is a small islet formed just off the coast of the main island.
Bonaire is also a place in the state of Georgia. See Bonaire, Georgia.
In addition, with a somewhat different spelling there is Bon Air, Virginia.
