One of the most iconic waterfront spots in Bonaire, Karel’s Beach Bar has been a family-run institution for over four generations and it just keeps expanding. Its signature pier stretches right out over the turquoise sea, making it a go-to for everything from daytime cocktails to sunset dinners. Equal parts tourist favorite and local hangout, Karel’s is more than a beach bar it’s a landmark, a meeting place, and the heart of the town’s coastal strip. Open all day and into the night, with live music, theme nights, and a menu that suits both casual drinks and full meals.
