Bonaire’s Pink Salt Flats

The Bonaire salt flats, located in the island's southern region, feature striking pink evaporation ponds, massive white salt pyramids, and historic 19th-century slave huts. These 3,700-hectare active solar salt pans are a primary industry and a surreal, scenic destination near Willemstoren Lighthouse.
Key details about the Bonaire Salt Flats:
Production & Color: Seawater is evaporated by sun and wind, with brine shrimp and bacteria creating distinct pink colors in the ponds.
Salt Pyramids: White, 50-foot piles of roughly 10,000 metric tons of 99.6% pure salt are visible from afar, awaiting shipment.En savoir plus
