Beaches
Where to begin. What an embarrassment of riches. My favourite beaches are on the Northwest coast (of course :). Snow white and calm waters Below are some of these beaches and at the bottom of the list a few beaches in the south.
Playa Kalki: A small, secluded beach located on the far northwest coast of the island. The beach features soft white sand, clear waters, and an impressive coral reef that is perfect for snorkeling and diving. They have built a wonderful restaurant on the beach and it is close to Cliff Villa and the Beautiful Curacao HQ.
Playa Gipy: A remote hidden picnic beach located on the rugged northwestern coast of the island. This beach is known for its beautiful turquoise waters and stunning rocky cliffs. It's not the easiest beach to access, but the scenery is definitely worth the effort.
Playa Forti: A small beach located on the northwest coast of the island, near the village of Westpunt. The beach features crystal clear waters and a large rock cliff - Jumping is key to the fun. There is also a local restaurant nearby that serves delicious seafood.
