Bakkie (old name: Reynsdorp[1]) is a resort and town in Suriname, located in the Commewijne District. Its population was 447 at the 2012 census (541 at the 2004 census).[2][3] Around 1902, the coffee plantation Reynsdorp was bought by the government and parceled out in small allotments for immigrants who had served out their contracts.[4] The resort lies along the Atlantic Ocean coastline. The resort of Bakkie can only be reached by boat.[5]

The Museum of Bakkie, located in the village Reynsdorp (now better known as Bakkie) has an impressive collection of old bottles, prints, maps, paintings and many utensils.[1]

Other villages in the Bakkie resort are Alliance, Ephrata, and Kronenburg
