P<\/span>laya Kalki beach in Westpunt is home to one of the best dive centers on Curacao: Go West Diving. The reef at Playa Kalki is called \u201cAlice in Wonderland\u201d and is famous for it\u2019s underwater Chichi and saxophone<\/a>. At Go West Diving you can either rent diving gear and book a boat trip to dive sites like the Blue Room<\/a> or the Mushroom Forest<\/a> or you can only rent the equipment you need and go diving on your own (with your buddy of course :)). If you decide to go diving on your own this is called \u201cShore-Diving\u201d, which means at your own pace and at your preferred time.<\/p>\n<\/div> Westpunt is located, as the name already indicates, in the very West of Curacao. It\u2019s a small town with only one through street which is why the crossroads to Playa Kalki and Go West Diving is easily overlooked. And whoosh, you\u2019ve already been trough the village. Too bad, because in addition to the dive center there are numerous good restaurants<\/a> and fantastic beaches<\/a> on the way. Additionaly to the already mentioned Playa Kalki with its new Beach Club the Playa Grandi or the Playa Piskado with guaranteed sea turtles are definitely worth mentioning.<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t missed your exit, it\u2019s only a few feet from the main street towards the ocean. Shortly afterwards, there is a small parking lot on the left side, with space for 20-30 vehicles, with signs for Playa Kalki and, of course, for Go West Diving. You\u2019ve come to the right place! If this parking lot is already full: Since 2023, there is a new, huge parking lot a few feet further on the right side of the road. Our tip: First drive to the small parking lot and drive towards the stairs that lead to Playa Kalki and the dive center, unload your car there and then park the car on the big parking lot, if the small one is full.<\/p>\n At the end of the small parking lot there are stairs leading down to Go West Diving and the magnificent Playa Kalki. At the sight of the Caribbean Sea and the dream beach, it\u2019s hard to turn left and go to the dive center and not the beach. Instead, with every step you take down the stairs, you are magnetically drawn to the right to the white coral beach with its appealing terrace, the fantastic view and the chill-out areas. But now it\u2019s time to dive! So turn left!<\/p>\nThe West of Curacao<\/h3>\n
Small or big parking?<\/h3>\n
Should I turn left or right?<\/h3>\n
