I posted this message under another thread, but it may have gotten buried so here it is again....

We carried our trusty printout of tidbits from this board on our most recent trip last month. However, we still had a heck of a time finding that platform from Jibe City (even with binoculars), so we tried this.....When you turn onto the Sorobon/Jibe City road off the main drag, look to your right. There is a fence that goes from the road out to the beach. There is a sand road that follows the fence. Take that road and park your vehicle. In the distance you can see Cai, on the other side of Lac Bay, where all the conch shells are piled up. Start walking in that direction and a little toward the breakers. I would say that in about 10 minutes we were flat on our stomachs viewing an underwater wonderland. The nice thing about this entry point is that you don't have to keep your eyes open for wind surfers and it appears to be a much shorter walk than from Jibe City. We were out for a couple of hours. I could have stayed much longer. I feel like I only scratched the surface.

Thanks, Barry, I tried to go there this last trip, but there was a wind reversal and it was way too windy and I mean windy to go out there against it for some of the people in my group. I will most certainly try again in August when I return to Bonaire. :-)
