Curacao Beach Travel Tips

By Travel Expert: Linda Samuel
  • Curaçao Underwater Park offers a glimpse of some of the island's best preserved reefs. Admission to the park is U.S. $10 to $15.
  • Many dive spots can be accessed from shore, Playa Kalki being the best.
  • There are more than 40 underwater landscapes for snorkelers to explore off the shore's of Curaçao.
  • Tugboat, named for the sunken vessel, is a popular snorkeling spot. The site is a boat ride from the island; trips are available through several outfitters.

Curacao Overview

Curaçao (Coo-ra-sow), together with Bonaire, St. Eustatius, St. Maarten, and Saba, is in the Kingdom of the Netherlands as part of the Netherlands Antilles. Just 56km (35 miles) north of the coast of Venezuela, Curaçao, the "C" of the Caribbean's Dutch ABC (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao) islands, is the most populous of the Netherlands Antilles. Visitors come for its distinctive culture, warm people, duty-free shopping, lively casinos, and watersports. Fleets of tankers head out from its harbor to bring refined oil to all parts of the world. If you want grand high-rise resorts on spectacular beaches, head for Aruba. Curaçao has a few middle-bracket resorts on the beach, mostly along the island's southern coast, but we've always found the shopping and cultural experiences here more appealing than the beaches.
