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

    What is special about Playa Santu Pretu?

    Answer

    Playa Santu Pretu has black sand.

    Compared to the other beaches on Curacao, the sand here is not snow-white, but dark brown to black. It is somewhat grainy and heats up quite a bit in the sun. It is difficult to walk on barefoot, so if you want to snorkel, park your shoes somewhere near the water or waddle there in fins 😉

    The little-visited reef at Playa Santu Pretu is small but beautiful and inviting for snorkeling.
