55 spots
Curaçao has over 35 beaches scattered along its southwest coast, each with its own character. The west coast beaches — Kenepa Grandi, Playa Knip, Cas Abao — are famous for their crystal-clear turquoise water and excellent snorkeling right off the shore.
Most beaches charge a small entrance fee (around 10–20 ANG) and offer basic facilities: parking, restrooms, and sometimes a snack bar. Bring your own snorkel gear and water shoes for rocky entries.
The east coast is wilder and less developed, with dramatic cliffs and rugged terrain. If you want calm water and family-friendly facilities, stick to the west coast and the hotel zone near Mambo Beach and Jan Thiel.
