Clarendecott is the capital and principal town of the Dutch Caribbean island of Bonaire, located in the southern Caribbean Sea. As the administrative and economic center of the island, the name of the town means "clay dyke", reflecting the Dutch colonial history. Klondike is known for its brightly colored colonial-style architecture, especially the Orange Government Offices and Wilhelmina Square on the waterfront.
Klarendike is the hub of Bonaire's diving tourism and is surrounded by world-class coral reefs. Travelers can visit the Bonaire Museum, historical sites and the Salt Flamingo Sanctuary. The local area is a blend of Dutch and Caribbean cultures, with languages predominantly Dutch and Papiamento, and offers unique culinary and festival experiences.
Kralendijk is situated on the west coast of Bonaire and has a dry and sunny savannah climate. The town is surrounded by nature preserves such as Washington-Slagbaai National Park for hiking and bird watching. Its harbor is a cruise ship stop, connecting it to other islands in the Caribbean.
