Beaches

Playa Lagun

Right on your doorstep, you'll find Playa Lagun beach. It is a small beach, known for its excellent snorkling and diving opportunties. It's nestled in a protected bay, surrounded by cliffs.

Unlike the larger, more touristy beaches, Playa Lagun offers a more authentic and laid-back Caribbean experience. Its distinctive V-shaped inlet and calm, clear water make it a favorite among both locals and visitors.

Key Features and Activities

Snorkeling and Diving: This is what Playa Lagun is most famous for. The calm, warm waters and easy entry from the shore make it an ideal spot for all skill levels. You can swim directly out to a vibrant coral reef teeming with marine life. It’s not uncommon to spot turtles, squid, schools of colorful fish, and even sea horses in the shallow areas.

Scenic Beauty: The beach itself is relatively small, with soft sand and palm trees that provide natural shade. The dramatic cliffs that frame the cove, dotted with local fishing boats and rustic huts, create a beautiful, postcard-worthy setting.

Local Vibe: Playa Lagun has a distinct local feel. You'll often see local fishermen preparing their catch, which adds to the beach's charm and authenticity. It's a great spot to simply relax and watch the world go by.

On-site Amenities: Despite its secluded feel, Playa Lagun has a few amenities for visitors. There's a local dive shop where you can rent equipment or book a guided tour, and the Bahia Restaurant situated on the cliffside that offers stunning views of the cove.

Restaurants

There are many great restaurants in Curaçao, offering everything from local Caribbean flavors to high-end fusion cuisine. What’s “good” often depends on where you’re staying -whether it’s Westpunt, Willemstad, or Jan Thiel - and what kind of dining experience you’re after. Here are some of our personal favorites to get you started:

Bahia Restaurant
