Getting there
The vibe
“Iconic turquoise cove, postcard energy”
The face of Curaçao on a postcard: a deep, sheltered bay framed by limestone cliffs and impossibly blue water. Weekends get busy with locals grilling on the cliffs, but the sand is soft and the swimming is among the best on the island. Bring shoes for the bumpy steps down, and stick around for sunset over the cliff edge.
Accessibility
Not step-free
Path with some steps down to the sand. Parking is near the top with a step-free viewpoint over the bay.
About
Iconic cove framed by limestone cliffs with brilliant turquoise water and white sand. A favorite for cliff jumping and swimming. Staircase down from the clifftop parking; busy on weekends.

Getting around
You'll want a car to reach this beach
Curaçao's best beaches are spread across the island and the buses don't reach most of them. Rent from a trusted local company and explore on your own schedule.
