Red Slave
At the southern tip of Bonaire, Red Slave is both a historic landmark and a windswept, dramatic stretch of coastline. The small red-painted slave huts here date back to the 1800s, once housing enslaved workers from the nearby salt pans. Today, they stand as solemn reminders of that past, set against an endless horizon where the Caribbean meets constant trade winds. The rocky shoreline and strong currents make it a place for history, photography, and reflection rather than swimming but its open, untamed beauty leaves a lasting impression.
