Sanitary facilities project at Kenepa Chiki
The Ministry of Health, Environment and Nature (GMN) has started the construction of new toilets at Kleine Knip Beach, which is called Kenepa Chiki in Papiamentu.
The beach, which has not been managed for many years, has no sanitary facilities. These are now to be built at the lower end of the beach (wherever that may be exactly). Construction will take around nine weeks. The Ministry apologizes in advance for any inconvenience caused by the construction work.
Reason for the construction of the toilets
According to the ministry, the lack of toilets led to dangerous situations. This measure is intended to improve the visitor experience at one of Curacao’s most popular beaches while ensuring public health and safety.
Construction plans at beaches critical
Unlike other construction plans for “concrete” beach clubs at locations such as Caracasbaai, Jeremi and Lagun, which sparked significant protests and petitions, the installation of the new toilets is considered a relatively minor intervention.
Note from the Relaxed Curacao editorial team
From our perspective, access and parking could be tight for the duration of the construction. The narrow access road is not exactly ideal for construction vehicles. The Curacao Visitors Forum will soon tell you to what extent construction noise will affect your stay on the beach.
We hope that the ancient, tall Kenepa trees on the left-hand side of the beach will not have to make way for the new toilets. The new building should blend in well with the surroundings and not take up too much parking space, so that the Kenepa Chiki does not lose too much of its flair and charm.
Many years ago, there was a farm building on the left-hand side of the Kleiner Knip, looking out to sea. It is now a ruin. Perhaps this opportunity will be used to demolish the old eyesore or maybe everything will shine in new splendor once the whole thing has been renovated? We’ll stay tuned!

Quiz Question
Who is Tula?Answer
You will often come across this name when you study the history of Curaçao.
In 1795, a freedom fighter named Tula led the largest slave revolt on the island. The revolt started at Landhuis Knip, the manor house of the Kenepa plantation. The plantation was named after the surrounding Kenepa trees.
The leader of the slave revolt was rehabilitated by the Netherlands more than 200 years later and is considered a national hero because he fought for freedom.
The country house, which is now home to the Museo Tula, is located on the way to the two well-known beaches, Kenepa Grandi and Kenepa Chiki, in the West of Curacao.
