Perched above the northern coast, the Miradouro da Fonte da Areia offers far‑reaching views of the Ilhéu da Fonte de Areia, the cliffs, and the island’s stark, dramatic landscape. The area takes its name from the abundant sand and the spring once considered sacred by locals. Around you, wind‑shaped sandstone formations, made of shell and algae fragments that eventually formed Porto Santo’s beaches, offer a tangible reminder of the island’s volcanic origins.

Bonairean landscapes are brimming with vibrant flamingos, the island being one of the world's only four breeding grounds for the pink-hued birds — who get their iconic colour from the brine shrimp in the water. Bonaire's go-to place for birdwatching is Pekelmeer Lake, which is located near the salt pans. It's worth hiring a car to explore the area, but don't forget to bring your binoculars as you can only observe the flamingos from a distance. If you are headed elsewhere, both Goto Lake (Goto Meer) and Lac Bay give you spectacular views of the birds.
