Cruise ships dock in town, and you would be within walking distance (2 blocks) of Cha Cha "beach," a relatively easy access swimming area just before the Divi Hotel. Look from your ship, town is where artists gather in the plaza, where you can see a large (for Bonaire) peach colored mall (Harborside), main street w/pastel bldgs, etc, then walk along seaside in opposite direction, usually the way your ship's bow is pointing. If you come upon gates of Divi Hotel, you've gone just a bit too far, go back a few steps & down to water. This is Bonaire, so it is not a big sandy beach (maybe no beach at all depending upon tide?), but it is a swimming area where lots of kids do swim. The best area would probably be over to Jibe City, a 15 min ride, maybe also $15 taxi? Great area to hang out, chairs, tradewinds, shade, beach bar/lunch place, changing room, sandy beach, windsurfers to watch, etc., just keep kids in shallow area out of surfing traffic (my personal fav).
