Boka Patrick

About

Boka Patrick is one of Curaçao’s hidden north coast gems, known for its wild scenery, dramatic waves, rugged cliffs, and untouched natural beauty. Located near Barber on the island’s rough northern coastline, this remote boka (inlet) offers a completely different side of Curaçao compared to the calm turquoise beaches on the south coast. The area is famous for powerful waves crashing into the rocky shoreline, natural hiking trails, hidden coves, and nearby natural formations like Supladó and Pul di Padiki. It’s a perfect destination for adventure lovers, drone photography, hiking, and exploring Curaçao’s raw Caribbean landscape. Swimming is generally not recommended because of the strong currents and rough sea conditions.

How to Get There

Boka Patrick is located near Barber in the northwest part of Curaçao, along the island’s rugged north coast.
