Stopped here on our tour of the southern end of the island. Sit awhile and maybe you can feel the presence of days gone by. I did. There is an odd beauty about this spot even though you know that the people that slept here must have worked very hard for very little.

Worth a short visit. It is important that these huts are maintained to remind us all that history should not repeat itself. Amazing how the slaves were able to survive these conditions.

Once a crucial part of the salt trade, this area contains tiny "houses" where slaves were allowed to rest between shifts. The signage does an excellent job explaining the process and how the slaves lived and became free.

We drove south from town along the single road that follows the coast around the southern tip of Bonaire, and saw Pink Beach past impressive piles of salt in the salt works. There were huts that seem so stark and small, hard to believe, but slaves once slept in them when working in the salt trade. There is also an orange obelisk, color coded by the grade of salt so that the boats knew where to come to buy the particular grade of salt they wanted. Lots of brilliant pink flamingos along this road.

Salt workers/slaves lived in these small houses very impressive to see that people treated each other like this

Very interesting ... Hard to believe people lived in the huts. The salt harvest is very fascinating. We saw a few flamingo birds while we were there.

I thought the history of the place is interesting and quite sad.The views of the ocean are gorgeous.

Along the southern coastal highway there are markers with stories depicting the sad history of slaves who once labored to harvest the salt and load it onto ships. There are 4 salt pans, each with a different grade (or type?) of salt, and each has a color-coded obelisk marking where along the shoreline the ships needed to anchor to load it. These are labeled in Dutch as Oranje Pan (orange), Witte Pan (white), Rode Pan (red), and Blauwe Pan (blue). Near the obelisks (loading areas) are the remains of the tiny huts that the slaves slept in while loading the ships. Definitely worth seeing, but it doesn’t take long. Each of these pans is just a stop along the scenic highway. The whole drive around the south end of the island, including several stops, took a little more than an hour.

The white-painted huts give a tough look into the inhumane conditions endured by slaves working the salt flats over 100 years ago. Important historical site to see, it reminds you of the many unfortunates who slaved away to enrich the wealthy few in the Caribbean/West Indies generations ago.
