Vier minuten Boka Tabla in Shete Boka Parce Nashonal op Curaçao, NA.
Boka Tabla is een grot die van de ene kant vanaf land toegankelijk is, en waar vanaf de andere kant de door de noord-oost passaat opgestuwde zee naar binnen rolt.
De constant harde wind en ruige zee maken een bezoek aan de grot een spectaculaire belevenis, vooral bij harde wind en een onstuimige zee.
Curacao Shete Boka Park-Boca Tabla ????????
Boca Tabla on the northeastern coast is one of many bokas, or inlets in Shete Boka National Park, Waves crash into an underwater cave throwing up white foamy water against the cliffs. The footpaths down from the parking lot and up on top of the cliff are uneven and covered with white crushed gravel, Be careful because it can slide under your feet. There is a wooden deck with railing near the cavern where you can watch the incoming breakers and the temporary waterfalls created as the water drains back out. If you climb down into the cavern you can see and hear the surf -- called “the sound of nature” by the tourism folks. ????????
Pro Tips for Exploring Curacao's Shete Boka
Shete Boka National Park—located on Curacao's rugged north coast—is home to the island's most dynamic landscape. It's also a haven for endangered green sea turtles and remarkably large iguanas (a popular ingredient in local stews).
Head to Shete Boka for its 10 impressive inlets called “bokas” and miles of hiking trails. Or just look at it as an opportunity to get away from it all. For someone like me, who lives in an over-crowed city, a walk around this park was one of few opportunities to be alone with nature. Many times, there was not a soul in sight—just me and the crashing waves.
My visit to Shete Boka was a last-minute, spur-of-the-moment opportunity, and I had little or no knowledge of what I was about to see. Knowing what I know now, I would have done a few things differently.
For one thing, beach attire (though welcome everywhere throughout Curacao) isn't a wise choice for a day at the park. Be sure to wear athletic or hiking shoes if you plan to do any real exploring. You'll likely be walking on tiny rocks all day, which can make you lose your footing rather easily. I also recommend covering up your shoulders, wearing a hat and slathering on the sunblock.
Try to arrive early to avoid the hottest part of the day and bring more water than you think you need. Keeping yourself hydrated can be a challenge with the humidity factor. I was sweating like crazy.
Some hotels offer tours to the park, but I often find that it's more fun to explore it at your own pace. So rent a car (be sure to opt for the rental insurance) and drive yourself to the park. Once you're there, you can get a map and drive to the points of interest that strike your fancy.
For me, Boka Pistol was the most impressive site, with it's dramatic blowhole shooting water high into the sky. Boka Tabla was dark, a bit dangerous, and didn't photograph well. I really didn't understand what all the fuss was about. Skip this boka if you're short on time.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how you choose to explore Shete Boka National Park. Just go. For an admission fee of $5.50, it’s probably the best deal on the entire island.
This is the jagged, untouched beauty of Curacao … in its rawest and purest form.

This is an area adjoining the Christoffelpark covering more than 10 kilometers of the rocky wave-exposed north coast of the island and with some 10 pocket beaches where 3 species of sea turtles are known to lay eggs. The most well-known and favorite inlet for visitors is Boka Tabla.
If you enjoy getting off the beaten track and into rugged countryside, you will love National Park Shete Boka. The park begins at stunning Boka Tabla, where huge waves thunder into an underground cavern. Steps cut into the rocks lead you directly into the mouth of the cavern; you can sit on the very edge and watch the surf roll in. After you peek inside the cavern you can walk along the limestone bluffs above for a spectacular view of Curacaos rugged north coast.
Esta es un área adyacente al Christoffelpark que cubre más de 10 kilómetros de la costa norte de la isla, expuesta a las olas rocosas, y con unas 10 playas de bolsillo donde se sabe que 3 especies de tortugas marinas ponen huevos. La entrada más conocida y favorita para los visitantes es Boka Tabla.
Si te gusta salir de los caminos trillados y adentrarte en un paisaje accidentado, te encantará el Parque Nacional Shete Boka.

Los pasos cortados en las rocas te llevan directamente a la boca de la caverna; Puedes sentarte en el borde y ver cómo se acerca el oleaje. Después de echar un vistazo dentro de la caverna, puedes caminar por los acantilados de piedra caliza de arriba para obtener una vista espectacular de la escarpada costa norte de Curacaos.
