Curacao

Tugboat Beach is not a classic Caribbean beach but hides an underwater treasure: a sunken tugboat. Lying at a depth of 5 m, it has become home to corals and tropical fish. Even for beginners, it is easily accessible, and the water is clear. Although the beach is deserted, the snorkelling here is worth it.

Playa Porto Mari is one of Curaçao's popular beaches. It offers fine white sand, azure sea, unique double reefs for snorkelling and the famous piglets that roam freely here. The beach is well organised, with a restaurant and sun loungers. You can only get here by car, parking is free.

Kleine Knip is a hidden paradise on the west coast of Curaçao. This small, quiet beach offers fine sand, turquoise sea and a rich underwater world. Snorkelling off the rocks reveals rare fish and coral. Although the beach is only minimally organised, that is precisely what gives it its authentic atmosphere.
