I visited Kleine Knip at the end of the day and during that time there weren’t that many (families) around anymore. *There is a small fee for beach entry and for lounge chairs.Playa Grandi, also called Playa Piscado, is a great free beach to see the sea-life close to shore or from the dock.It’s the place to go in Westpunt, about 45 minutes from Willemstad, to swim with the turtles and lots of colorful fish in the wild and in shallow water.We frequent this beach to buy fresh fish to cook for dinners, and I love to snorkel here to see the turtles.It is quite a beautiful tourist beach very similar to Cas Abou.Blue Bay offers lots of water sports that can be arranged through the dive shop on the beach, like fishing, catamaran sailing, and kayaking.Fees apply for entry and chairs unless you are using the dive shop or staying in the resort.Porto Marie in Bandabou, west of town, is a busy touristy white sand, fee-based, public beach.Every time we have gone to Porto Marie it has been crowded.There are beautiful views from this beach and from the bar and restaurant.Also, you’ll find good scuba diving and snorkeling here on the double reef.Playa Kenepa, also called Grote Knip, is a gorgeous white sand beach, not far from Westpunt in a less populated part of the island.Personally, I think this is the most beautiful beach in Curacao, especially when few people use it.This is a popular beach with the locals, and there are fewer tourists.If you are a strong swimmer, you can swim to the reef for great snorkeling; the rocks along the beach boundaries are good for snorkeling too.Beachgoers can use the food establishments at the Lodge, adjacent to the beach, which has a restaurant on the beach and additional bars and restaurants overlooking the beach.Those who snorkel in the swimming area will see lots of fish near some of the older corals but you must venture beyond the swimming area to see some of Kalki’s beautiful fish and live corals.Snorkelers – keep your eyes peeled for the schools of squid that can often be seen in the swimming area.Divers and snorkelers like Playa Kalki situated on the beautiful Alice in Wonderland coral reef.We have spent the majority of our Curacao vacation time diving at Playa Kalki or on the boat with Go West.For those interested in partying on the beach, head to the man-made Mambo Beach.Entering the sandy beach requires a fee; beach chairs are lined up all over this beach and are available for rent.Food and drinks are available from many of the beach stands or food establishments in the mall.On the east side of the large beach is Lions Dive, a resort/dive hotel associated with Every type of beach amenity that you can think of is available at Mambo Beach.Jan Thiel Beach in Southeastern Curacao is often likened to a European-style beach.While Jan Thiel Beach has similar amenities to Mambo Beach, it is smaller, quieter, and seems more family-oriented.During the happy hour and after sunset there is often music on the beach.Fees apply for parking, chairs, and beach entry unless staying at a participating resort.Sint Joris Bay Beach is not a typical beach nor is it a typical tourist setting.There is a kiteboard lesson shack on the beach; find kite-boarders at all levels from beginners to experienced.It’s located on the northern side of the island not far from the eastern tip of Curacao.Klein Curacao, also known as Little Curacao, is a remote uninhabited island 15 miles off the southeast tip of Curacao.Several tour companies run daily snorkel or dive trips with picnics to Klein Curacao where tourists play in the water. That kind of stuff.That said, I thought it was still quite fun to walk around over there, if only to observe my fellow (Dutch) countrymen. So that makes for smooth walkies along the shores. Just so you know what my framework is like: I’m a fan of secluded beaches, located in bays, with tropical blue water, palm trees providing enough shade, marvellous underwater worlds and a bit of quietness. Don’t forget to snap the bay from its southern outcropping. The upsides of Playa Porto Mari is that the beach is quite long, that is has ample parking space, a neat restaurant, quite comfortable beach beds and a big floating device in the middle of the sea where you can relax at in between swimming.
