Goto Lake (Gotomeer) is a shallow brackish lagoon near the north end of Bonaire. It is one of the few places in the world where pink flamingos nest. The shallow brackish water provides the brine shrimp and blue-green algae on which the long-legged, wading, colonies of flamingos feed and a suitable environment for them to nest.
