I have to confess: in the nearly 2 weeks I stayed in Curacao, I did not spend one second on the beach. Something about <strong>not being a beach person<\/strong>. I did visit many beaches. Rarely on a trip have I seen such <strong>beautiful beaches<\/strong> and such <strong>clear blue waters<\/strong>. <strong>Many beaches have viewpoints to marvel at the beautiful blue sea.<\/strong> As a photography enthusiast, I can spend hours there. And what about <strong>snorkeling<\/strong>: a must do in Curacao. <strong>In this article, I take you to the most beautiful beaches in Curacao.<\/strong> For snorkeling, good food or sunbathing. And as a <strong>bonus<\/strong>: an unknown beach off the beaten path &amp; Jan Thiel beach tips.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Beaches in Curacao<\/h2>\n<hr>\n<p>Curacao has <strong>about 40 beaches<\/strong>. In <strong>all shapes and sizes<\/strong>: small, large, sandy beaches, coral stone beaches, deserted beaches and tourist beaches. And all equally beautiful. Beach person or not: this is beautiful <strong>nature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These beaches are spread out along the south side of the island.<\/strong> The best thing to do is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/discovercars.tpx.gr\/4uudnl0n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">to rent a car in Cura\u00e7ao<\/a><\/strong> and take a tour of the island\u2019s most beautiful beaches. Generally easy to get to by car and free parking is available everywhere.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You won&#8217;t find the same amenities on every beach.<\/strong> Sometimes there is a restaurant, sometimes not. On some beaches you won&#8217;t find beach beds, on others you will. Also, <strong>not all beaches are free to visit<\/strong>, sometimes you pay a small entrance fee. <strong>Beach beds<\/strong> are almost always paid for by the way.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever you love as a beach lover, <strong>in Curacao you will find your perfect beach<\/strong>. Everywhere you look you see clear blue water, really impressive.<\/p>\n<p>And also fun: <strong>beach hopping<\/strong>. As I did. From beach to beach, looking for the most beautiful spot.

The Directors Bay<\/h3>\n<p>Directeursbaai is ranked number one <strong>most beautiful beach in Curacao<\/strong>. You have to drive for it, there are <strong>no amenities<\/strong> and it is small. But gosh how wonderful. This beach used to be<strong> a private beach for the directors of Shell<\/strong>, who came here to enjoy their leisure time. Hence the name.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Directors Bay<\/strong> is full of pebbles, so bring a bed if you want to lie down a bit comfortably. This beach is <strong>truly beautiful<\/strong>; it took my breath away. Small, but terribly beautiful. And not just above the water. Indeed, Directors Bay is a popular spot for <strong>diving and snorkeling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Bring your own everything as there are no restaurants or anything.

Playa Lagun<\/h3>\n<p>Another gem: Playa Lagun. A beautiful little beach with all kinds of amenities. And a great place to snorkel. In fact, <strong>this was my favorite place to snorkel<\/strong>. An underwater world to die for. The bay is quite extensive, and you can swim on both sides of the cliffs to the end of the bay. On both sides you will find <strong>coral and many exotic fish<\/strong>. This is the place where I&#8217;ve been in the water the most time, and next time in Curacao I will definitely go back.<\/p>\n<p>This is also the beach where you can encounter <strong>turtles<\/strong>, if you are lucky. In a good way, without feeding them as on Playa Piskad\u00f3 (Playa Grandi) in the village of Westpunt.<\/p>\n<p>Besides snorkeling, this beach with the <strong>high cliffs<\/strong> on both sides is <strong>just beautiful<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/MdSWm3eTu3Ui8iTU7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Click here for the location of Playa Lagun.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-31632 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Playa-Lagun-Curacao.jpg' data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"739\" src=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Playa-Lagun-Curacao.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Mooiste stranden Cura\u00e7ao buiten de gebaande paden\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Playa-Lagun-Curacao.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Playa-Lagun-Curacao-744x344.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Playa-Lagun-Curacao-1200x554.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Playa-Lagun-Curacao-420x194.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Playa-Lagun-Curacao-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Playa-Lagun-Curacao-1536x709.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Playa-Lagun-Curacao-1170x540.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Playa-Lagun-Curacao-585x270.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3.

I did not visit this beach and thus did not snorkel, but drove there twice to have lunch at both restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Not because those <strong>restaurants<\/strong> are so special (good food though), but mainly for the <strong>views<\/strong>. In both restaurants I simply sat, ate and marveled at this <strong>beautiful place<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The little beach is very <strong>quiet<\/strong> and I have the idea that it is mostly used by locals.
