This beach is absolutely stunning with its pristine white sand and crystal-clear water. You can enjoy full-service amenities including a bar and restaurant, although prices may be on the higher side. The locals are incredibly welcoming and hospitable, making for a joyful and friendly atmosphere.

The beach offers of a velvety and ivory sand, accompanied by a breathtaking azure water. Cliff diving is a thrilling activity that adds to the fun. Snorkeling is decent, but not exceptional. We got there by 9:30 in the morning and it wasn't too crowded yet. However, by 10 o'clock, the beach was teeming with people. If it weren't for the crowd, this place would have been a paradise. Nonetheless, the hustle and bustle of the beach was a tad overwhelming for my liking.
Cas Abao beach

This is the best beach I've been to. The sand is incredibly white and powdery. The beach itself is very wide and long, providing plenty of space for everyone. There are also lots of chairs and shaded areas available. They even have a snack bar right there on the beach. If you're into scuba diving, you're in luck because they offer that too. The views are breathtaking and the snorkeling experience is absolutely fantastic.
Daaibooi beach

This stunning beach boasts a serene atmosphere, making it a peaceful alternative to the bustling Porto Marie. The best part? There's no entry fee! However, be aware that the number of available beds is limited. While snorkeling is an option, it may not be as enjoyable on a windy day due to the water becoming murky.
Playa Lagun

Nikolai Petrovich.
This beach on Curasso is possibly the tiniest of them all, but it holds a secret charm that is hard to resist. Nestled between two rocks, the bay is always tranquil and inviting. The water is a stunning shade of turquoise or deep blue, and the view from above is nothing short of breathtaking. Perched atop one of the cliffs is a restaurant that offers a spectacular vantage point to gaze at the beach below while enjoying a meal.
But let's not forget about the underwater world that lies beneath the surface. The variety of marine life here is unparalleled. From the moment you step into the water, you'll be surrounded by fish of all shapes and sizes, in a rainbow of colors. You might even have the incredible luck of encountering a sea turtle, an octopus, or a large ocean fish. The water is warm and inviting, even in March when we visited, with temperatures reaching a balmy 27 degrees Celsius.
If you have the opportunity, don't miss out on experiencing this hidden gem of a beach.

This beach is a true gem! For just $15, you can enjoy the comfort of two chairs and an umbrella for the entire day. While the snorkeling may not meet the expectations of experienced snorkelers, the coral and fish are still healthy and abundant. You can explore both sides of the cliffs for an unforgettable snorkeling experience. The left side boasts slightly more coral, but the visibility is excellent on both sides. Without a doubt, this was the highlight of our visit to Curacao. The natural beauty of this beach is simply breathtaking.
