User reviews

"This is the ultimate beach in Curacao! The bay is serene and peaceful, with only a few visitors around. Don't miss out on snorkeling, especially on the left side of the bay where you'll find plenty of coral. And if you can, stay until sunset - it's an absolutely stunning sight to behold."

Kaiya Rodriguez.

"This beach is perfect for snorkeling, as there are plenty of fish swimming along the cliff edges and the coral is truly impressive. Don't forget to swing by Discover Lagun for a refreshing drink, some vibrant birds, and the freshest catch of the day. If you see Mula on the menu, be sure to try it - it's a delicious fish! Cheers!"
