Basic distance overview

• This refers to the shortest sea distance between Bonaire and the nearest part of Venezuela’s coastline, not to Caracas or other inland cities.

Why some distances look larger

You may see much larger figures (400–600+ km) on some distance calculators because they measure between country centroids or between specific cities like Caracas and Kralendijk, rather than the nearest coastline points. For travel planning, the coastal distance of about 43 miles is the most relevant figure when asking how far Bonaire is from Venezuela.
