Kokomo Beach (Vaersenbaai)

About

Kokomo Beach, also known as Vaersenbaai, is a trendy beach club on Curaçao's southwestern coast, located about 12 minutes west of Willemstad. This natural bay setting combines a beautiful beach, a popular beach restaurant, a dive shop, and one of the island's most famous Instagram photo spots — a swing positioned over the water with stunning ocean views. The beach is nestled among the ruins of old Fort Vaersenbaai, adding historic character to the tropical setting. Kokomo Beach offers a budget-friendly alternative to Blue Bay Resort, with an entrance fee that grants access to the beach, loungers, and facilities. The restaurant serves food and cocktails throughout the day, with live music at sunset creating a relaxed, festive atmosphere. A coastal trail connects Kokomo Beach to Boka Sint Michiel to the north, offering a scenic walk along the rugged shoreline. The beach can get busy on weekends when locals flock to the beach club, so visiting on weekdays is recommended for a quieter experience. Kokomo Beach is ideal for visitors looking for a blend of natural beauty, beach club amenities, and social atmosphere at a reasonable price.
