The ABC Islands

                                          

                                       Aruba, Bonaire, & Curacao

 When I’m getting ready to take a vacation to a new destination, I always do my research.  I have been to 2 out of 3 of these places and I will be visiting Bonaire for the first time next March, so I have started my research and thought I would share some of the information I have found with you. Aruba and Curacao are amazing places and I can’t wait to visit Bonaire as well.

The ABC Islands consist of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao. They are all located off the western coast of Venezuela in the Southern Caribbean. Curacao is the largest of the three islands and also holds the highest population with very high standards of living due to its oil refining business. Bonaire is slightly larger than Aruba although Aruba holds a higher population. Aruba is also the most developed of the islands, offering many resorts, casinos, malls, golf courses, restaurants, night life and more. Bonaire is surrounded by staggering coral reefs and is also protected by a national marine park. It is known as a diver’s paradise. It doesn’t have the tourism that Aruba does and does not have the commercial power of Curacao. Continue reading “The ABC Islands”
