Imagine: you just arrived at the always sunny and tropical Curaçao; you are settled and unpacked. Now you are totally ready for your lovely holiday. You have been informed about the many beaches on Curaçao, but every beach is as beautiful as the others.
Let us give you some indication on suitability of my Top 5 beaches. And believe me out of 42 beaches in total this is the tip of the iceberg (or hotberg in the tropics?)!

At number 5 I have Cas Aboa Beach. A pretty, big beach where you have to pay entrance fee before. Clear blue waters and a white sandy beach is what you see when stepping on the beach. There are many palm trees and parasols where you can find some shadow during the day, something that definitely gives you the ultimate holiday feeling. Some people advised me to snorkel around here. As a fan of underwater life it is definitely recommended.

Number 4 Port Mari, in general a quiet beach where you can take your kids with you. There are also enough facilities on this beach. What I liked about Port Mari was the vibe around there. The beach was pleasant sunbath suitable and the people at that moment were super relaxed. I am yet not tired of mentioning, a super clear water and white beach.  It is a must see during your stay at Curaçao!

For me, at the third place I find Playa Lagun. A very small beach, where a lot of locals like to come. I had a great experience with Playa Lagun. I was told about 3 sea turtlesthat always swim around in the early mornings. Suddenly around 5 pm on a Saturday there was a sea turtle below swimming me. This was a very unique experience, seeing nature so close. I will tell about sea turtles swimming in groups later on. I am almost a professional Turtle spotter now.

But first number 2: Grote Knip. Antilleans also call this beach ‘Kenepa’. ‘Kleine Knip’ also exists and is similar to Playa Lagun, small and intimate. Until now Grote Knip still is a public beach and it is the most popular beach. Maybe because the color of the sea is, remarkably, turquoise and you can see this while standing on top of the rocks. When I swam in the water some sort of pressure fell of my shoulders, a special but nice feeling something you must experience yourself.

And my number 1 beach: Klein Curaçao. There is a fee to get there, but you must have seen this island at least once in your life. The pearl white soft beach is unbelievable. The water, oh the water you need to try it yourself. But the best part is yet to come. The sea turtle of Playa Lagun was not the only one I saw. The sea turtles at Klein Curaçao all swim together just near the island. This is the beach I highly recommend to visit when you are on the come to Curaçao, or if you have never been on Klein Curaçao before please put it on your Bucket List
