One of the main reasons for me to visit this island was the beach. I wanted to stay at the beach for a couple of days. I can tell you I spent so many hours at the beach but still it was not enough... ;-)
The nice beaches are on the southcoast of the island. On Curaçao you have to pay to get to many of the beaches. For sure you do not have to pay for the beach if you stay in the hotel at the beach... But for other beaches they charge you a couple of dollars for the access and even for the chairs.
One of the most popular beaches is Mambo Beach because on fridays and saturdays there are beach parties all over. The wet 'n' wild is like a huge bar with a stage. I recomed this one for people who like to go crazy and do party like @ Ballermann in Palma de Mallorca. Next to it there is a really big restaurant/bar with live music. (They had a very good salsa band on that night...) It is all openair and at the beach!
Behind all these are some shops, snackbars, restaurants and more bars. It is a two floor building which reminds me a lot of the promenade in Playa del Ingles in Gran Canaria. Upstairs is this salsabar with good DJs and brilliant dancers. We have been watching this dancers for hours. A lot of local people were in this bar.
During the day this long beach is just heaven on earth. It is quite, the water is warm and crsistal clear.
On my first day some guests of the hostel took me to Caracas Bay. It is a huge bay with a long sandy beach. This beach is uses by locals and very few tourist. It is free and there are two bars. The water is clear and you can see lots of fishes!!! Very close by there is an old dutch tower on hill. Behind this hill there is a harbour with an old ferry which is out of service. Behind this ferry are some buoyes. After you crossed the last one you are able to see a ship wreck. It is amazing how many different fishes are living in there. Explore also the riff just a little bit further on. But be carefull with the current and the waves.
On of the most beautiful places should be Kenepa Beach. I heard it is a peaceful but a bit crowed beach. I had to relax that is why I did not went there. Sorry...
One of my favorit places is located next to the Sunscape Curaçao Resort. There is just the end of the Mambo Beach. There is a very small beach on the left and a harbour with a some fishing boats. This beaches are free and the resaturants serve very good food. I recomend you to have a drink during the sunset and after a bite in the Surf and Turf just next to the harbour.
Besindes the beaches and the snorkeling diving is a big thing in Curaçao. There are diving centers everywhere. I did not have enough time to take the course. I will do that the next time.
Little Curaçao is a small sandy island in the southeast of Curaçao. It is popular for day trips by boat. It is one of these Robinson Crusoe islands with nothing on it than sand and some small vegetation. You can hire boat or go on some organised trips by boat or sailing ships.
