THE 5 MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACHES OF CURACAO.

Curaçao is known for its beautiful beaches and crystal-clear blue water. But which beaches are actually the most stunning on the island? In this blog, we’ll share our personal top 5 favourite beaches where you can relax, have fun, and explore the beautiful underwater world.

Cas Abao

Cas Abao is one of Curaçao’s most stunning beaches, and it’s not just us saying that. It’s ranked number 18 among the most beautiful beaches in the world! Here, you’ll find soft white sand, crystal-clear water, and comfy sunbeds perfect for soaking up the sun.

Love snorkeling? This is one of the few places on the island where you can still see vibrant, living coral. The underwater world here is full of colourful fish and marine life, perfect for a little adventure beneath the surface.

Need a break from the sun? There’s a cozy snack bar where you can grab a fresh smoothie or a tasty bite to keep your energy up for the rest of the day.

Kleine Knip

Kleine Knip, known by locals as Kenepa Chiki, is a hidden gem with crystal-clear water and a stunning underwater world. As soon as you dip your head below the surface with a snorkel, you’ll be surrounded by colourful tropical fish. If you look closely (and get a bit lucky), you might even spot a puffer fish, one of the cutest little creatures out there!

The beach itself is small, peaceful, and perfect for a laid-back beach day. Just a heads-up: you’ll be sharing the space with some curious locals, iguanas and little lizards love to explore, and sometimes even sneak into your bag in search of snacks.

At the entrance of the beach, you’ll also find a heartwarming little corner where locals have created a feeding spot for stray cats, making sure they have fresh water and food every day.

So, if you’re a nature and animal lover, Kenepa Chiki is definitely worth a visit!

Playa Daaibooi

Playa Daaibooi is one of the few beaches on the island where you can spot sea turtles swimming freely in their natural habitat, a truly unforgettable experience!

It’s also a perfect spot to spend a sunny day. The beach has a relaxed, local vibe and even a small snack bar where you can grab some crispy fries or classic Dutch snacks.

Feel like bringing your own food? No problem! Daaibooi is a great place to hang out with friends or family and enjoy your own barbecue right by the sea.

Don’t forget your snorkel, just like many beaches on the island, the underwater world here is full of colourful fish. And if you're lucky, you’ll be snorkeling alongside a few curious sea turtles!

Playa Porto Marie

Porto Marie is more than just a beach, it’s a whole experience! It’s the only beach on the island where you’ll be sharing the sand with actual pigs. From big, lazy ones to adorable little piglets, they roam around freely and add a fun twist to your beach day. Just keep an eye on your snacks… these curious foodies love to sneak a bite when you're not looking!

Besides the animal entertainment, Porto Marie is also a fantastic place to snorkel or dive. There’s a dive shop right on the beach where you can book a trial dive if you’d like to discover the underwater world a bit deeper.

And when you’re ready to relax, grab a table at the beachside restaurant, sometimes they even have live music playing, adding to the good vibes.

Playa Kalki

If you’re looking for more than just a beach day, Playa Kalki is the place to be. This beach club offers the perfect mix of soft sand, clear ocean, and even a swimming pool, so you get the best of everything.

Out in the water, you’ll find two wooden rafts where you can stretch out, soak up the sun, and fully unwind. It’s the ultimate spot to tan and chill.

Feeling hungry? The on-site restaurant serves a variety of tasty dishes, making it a great place to grab lunch or a snack between swims.

Whether you're there to relax, swim, or just vibe by the pool, Playa Kalki is a beach experience with a little something extra.

Whether you’re snorkeling with sea turtles, sunbathing next to pigs, or just sipping on a smoothie with your toes in the sand, Curaçao’s beaches each have their own charm and magic. From peaceful hideaways to lively beach clubs, there’s something for every kind of beach lover.

So, grab your towel, don’t forget your snorkel, and get ready to explore the island one beach at a time. Trust us, every stop is worth it.
