35+ Dream beaches

with white sand and turquoise water await you! Join us on a virtual journey to your dream beach on Curacao. Have fun!

The beaches of Curacao

For you, a snow-white beach with the finest coral sand is part of the perfect Caribbean vacation? A romantic sunset with the sun reflected on the sea and the fireball slowly falling into the water on the horizon should be guaranteed in any case? Then you’ve come to the right place on Curacao!

The most famous beaches of Curacao are in the west of the island, which guarantees your very own picture-perfect sunset. And you are spoiled for choice: from the quiet and natural miniature beach, where you will not find any loungers, catering, etc., to a top equipped hotel beach with power sockets for your mobile phone and beach service. You will find every conceivable beach variant here. It’s just up to you and your mood: peace and relaxation or party and cocktails?

  • Black sand under your feet

    Playa Santu Pretu

  • Blue lagoon at the fishing beach

    Playa Lagun

  • Instagram Shooting Point

    Playa Jeremi

This diversity is exactly what makes Curacao so special! The west and east of the island are fundamentally different. While the aforementioned bathing and snorkeling beaches can be found in the west, the east of the island is characterized by rugged rocks, high waves and beaches that do not allow entry into the water. Instead you will find harsh natural spectacles like Boka Pistol here – meter-high water fountains in front of which you can take impressive photos for your Insta story.

And, if you want to spend a little more time on Curacao and don’t just want to party: It’s a “once in a lifetime” experience to be involved in “beach cleaning” on one of the beaches in the east of the island. The sea mercilessly washes the plastic (and all other garbage) of our civilization onto the beaches. Green Phenix and the Sea Turtle Conservation Center are constantly collecting and recycling plastic and thus contributing to a cleaner environment. We took part – feel free to read our article and watch our videos.

Our own experiences will probably be much more interesting for you. Which beaches should I visit? What does the entry cost? Is there a toilet, kiosk or restaurant? We have visited (almost) all the beaches and are introducing them to you one by one. For each beach there is an article with photos and our rating. A “profile” shows you all relevant information at a glance.

We have just started producing additional videos of each beach and will basically take you “to the beach” with us. We talk to people on the beach, visit all the facilities and collect impressions for you with the drone. This is new territory for us and we’ll definitely get better with every video produced. Just give us time. Our goal: “to take you on site” instead of just “writing about it”.

Have fun!

Do you know the answer? We collected 100+ entertaining questions about Curacao. Have fun!

  • Quiz Question

    When do I get the local price?

    Answer

    The local price is the price for something adjusted to the usually lower income of the locals.

    For some expenses (e.g. internet or car rental) you can try to get the local price. For other expenses, you should be more “generous” and honor local commitment. The balance makes the difference here!

    Don’t demand the local price, but rather be happy if you get the local price as a tourist at some point and somewhere. It helps if you find out in advance what things usually cost locally.

Enough of the beaches, the sun and the sea? Hungry? Just surf over to our Restaurants & Bars section. Are you looking for a different holiday program? Lifestyle and shopping offer you numerous suggestions. Discover nature or follow an insider tip. Tips for a successful chill out on the Antilles can be found at Relaxed Travelling.
