Sint Joris Bay Beach is not a typical beach nor is it a typical tourist setting. However, if you love kite-boarding, want to learn, or want entertainment watching kite-boarders doing their tricks on the water, head to St. Joris Bay Beach. There is a kiteboard lesson shack on the beach; find kite-boarders at all levels from beginners to experienced. A few old chairs and sofas are set out to sit on in a bit of shade. It’s located on the northern side of the island not far from the eastern tip of Curacao. The beach and parking are free; everything here centers on the sport of kiteboarding.

Playa Jeremi, a favorite amongst some, is one of the few beaches on Curaçao that has a different sand structure in the water. The beach is made up partly of sand, partly of volcanic material. Visit this narrow, picturesque cove late in the day. Linger to watch the sun set, when you can fully appreciate the exceptionally clear water without minding the lack of shade. Uneven steps cut into the rocks lead from the parking area to Jeremi Beach. This location is a real escape from the public. A lovely sheltered bay and a beautiful diving location.

Fun activities

Christoffelpark is the largest national park of Curacao and a must see for everyone. The park has a rich variety of local flora and fauna. Nature lovers will find the park teeming with local birds and plants, including species, which are not easily seen elsewhere on the island. For example wild orchids, the Palabrua, the rare native barn owl. The Curacao White Tailed deer (of which there are only about 250 left) and much more. There are eight hiking trails, allowing the visitor the choice between an easy stroll, or for instance, a challenging hike to the top of the Christoffel mountain (recommended for early morning). Scenic car routes take you through underbush, around hills and across sea swept bluffs. The park also organizes special activities, including safaris, deer watching, animal presentations, cave excursions, a guided park tour and many special trips like occasional full moon walks and sunrise safari’s.

An island 2 hours off the coast of Curaçao. Curaçao's longest and whitest beach is on Klein Curaçao, an uninhabited island eight miles off the southeast coast. Dive operators and charter boats take passengers out to the oversized volcanic rock for beach parties, cookouts, and fantastic diving. The shore is covered in soft white sand and the water is crystal clear, but there is little shade. The northeastern side routinely has calm water with gentle waves.

The Hato Caves were formed below the sea level millions of years ago. With the Ice Ages the water level dropped down and Curacao was born. The Hato cave covers an area of 4900 m2, and is the home to the beautiful limestone formations, romantic pools, waterfall and our famous Madonna statue. Also inside the Cave is a colony of seldom seen long nose fruit bats.

Curaçao is known to be an underwater paradise of the Caribbean. Dive easily under the sea on your personal water scooter accompanied by a certified Aquafari diver. See a variety of beautiful fish and other deep-sea creatures as they swim on the bottom, roll on the surface or hover anywhere between the colorful coral reef in the ocean. Unlike scuba diving, which requires more gear and more courage, going on an Aquafari trip is easy for underwater sightseers. The Aquafari scooter is easy to master and too much fun not to try.
