26 Formation of Coastline North of Kralendijk, Bonaire

Geologists believe the island of Bonaire was formed when a giant coral reef was pushed up by a distant volcano before emerging from the Caribbean. Over the millenniums, the coral skeletons converted into limestone deposits. This evolution gives the shoreline a pockmarked, sharp and rocky surface. It has been further shaped by relentless waves.
