EXPLORING WILLEMSTAD - CURACAO
There is so much to see in Willemstad and it was worth dedicating an entire day to sight see and do the usual tourist stuff while we had downtime without a rental car. Curacao is so rich in culture and diversity and you can see that here in the city.

CURACAO ISLAND BEACH TOUR! ???????? Blue water, beach pigs and cliff jumping.
We spent a day touring around the west side of Curacao to visit multiple beaches and sites on the west side of the island with Irie Tours. This is the perfect tour for you if you don’t want to rent a car and want an affordable and fun tour company to take you around the island. We started at Shete Boka National Park to see the incredible waves! We then went to Playa Piskadó where the fisherman bring their catch. There are also many snorkelers here. Next up we went just up the road to go cliff jumping in the crystal clear water. After that we go to visit one of the best beaches on the island, Grote Knip where we went swimming. Lastly we headed to Playa Porto Marie to have some lunch and lounge on the beach, where we also encounter some beach pigs!

Irie Tours has a wide variety of fun tours to offer, from east to west and everything in between.

Shete Boka Park:
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 Curacao's rugged north coast.
Playa Piskadó:
This tiny fishermen's beach is also popular for snorkeling and diving and has some good photo ops of the boats and nets. Manchineel trees provide some shade. A small snack bar is open on the weekend. Entrance to the water is somewhat rocky.
Grote Knip:
Grote Knip (also called Playa Abou in Papiamento, translation: Beach in a valley) is a beach on the Caribbean island of Curaçao, located at the western side of the island, between the villages of Westpunt and Lagun. The beach gives way to a small lagune between high rocks. It is freely accessible to the public. The beach is used as a starting point for snorkeling, due to the presence of a coral reef nearby.
Playa Porto Mari:
Playa PortoMari is a beautiful sandy bay to be found on the private estate of Plantages PortoMari at the west coast of the tropical island of Curacao (in the Caribbean). Its white coral sand beach with clear and calm water is a true paradise for water lovers. The unique ‘double reef’ is easily accesible from the shore providing a fascinating snorkel and dive site. For landlubbers, three nature trails (the Seru Matteo Trail, the History Trail and the Bird Trail) have their starting point at the beach’s parking lot. They are ideal for hiking but can also be conquered by mountain bike.

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.

Today, I was able to visit Curacao once again. I went on an ATV Tour/Buggy adventure tour that took us to the edge of the island. We were even able to see Bonaire from the coastline!
Driving the ATV was pretty cool - we were on the public roads as well as the rough trails. Driving the buggy on the public roads was a bit different - glad we had the guides to assist us. It felt like a 'free for all' on the roads. All of the other traffic seemed to just go whenever they felt like it - not really following signs all that much. We had to be a bit extra cautious.
The dirt trails, however, was a bit more fun - that's for sure. We even stopped at a bat cave and an ostrich farm along the way.
Pretty sweet day, to say the least!
