I've read about Eden Beach and been on their website but I haven't been able to locate it on a map. Where is it in relation to one of the better known dive sites (so that i can locate it on ShoreDiving.com's map)

Ed the closest on that site is #21 Bari Reef, although Eden Beach is a little south of there. To get to Eden Beach turn right just past the Lighthouse Beach Resort and before the traffic circle, while driving north.

So, Eden Beach is north of the town pier?

Yes a good mile or so north of town pier.

A small note, the Lighthouse Beach Resort is South of town past Belnem. The "Lighthouse Restaurant" is just South of the traffic circle and Eden Beach

The Lighthouse Restaurant closed around a year ago. Sue and Wil reopened in town as Wil's Grill.

Well let's see, I was 0-2, wrong direction and resort, other than that I was correct.

How far is it from sand dollar - is Bari reef within diving distance?
|
By Grasshopper (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #17124) on Tuesday, February 28, 2006 - 11:13 am: |
Russ, essentially, Bari reef is within walking distance. Moving North, there is Eden Beach, a dirt lot where Sunset Beach Hotel used to be, the Den Lamen condos (small condo complex), then the Sand$ dock which puts you on Bari reef. I'm not good with distances, but maybe an quarter of a mile?

I thought you said "driving distance" Russ...lol! You could dive to bari, but the current is usually running North to South and can be quite strong. You would be going into the current heading to Bari. The farthest North I've managed to get from Eden is to where that big huge mooring block is (well before Bari)

There are secret agent notes under a rock under the sign that says Eden Beach...not sure if that helps
