Willemstoren Lighthouse
12° 1.7′ N · 68° 14.2′ W
Bonaire's first lighthouse, built in 1837 on the windswept southern tip at Lacre Punt, where locals stack driftwood sculptures on the wild windward shore.
Practical
Built 1837 (Tourism Corporation Bonaire). This is the corner every yacht rounds coming from the east: Virgintino recommends approaching Bonaire from the southeast around Lacre Punt, then a reach up the lee coast to Kralendijk. Coordinate: OpenStreetMap.
