Playa Porto Mari \/ Things to Do on Curacao<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This beach is, for us, one of the most beautiful on the island. Like most well-maintained beaches on Curacao, it&#8217;s paid and offers the option to rent sunbeds, umbrellas, or simply lie on the free part of the beach on the sand. You can look forward to great snorkeling, pleasant swimming, and a rich selection of food and drinks at the restaurant. Showers and toilets are also a given.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/en\/things-to-do-on-curacao-island\/screenshot-165\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13074\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13074\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_4693.jpg\" alt=\"Playa Porto Mari \/ Things to Do on Curacao\" width=\"1170\" height=\"726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_4693.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_4693-768x476.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>During our visit, there was also a family of Caribbean pigs that lay down wherever they pleased.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/en\/things-to-do-on-curacao-island\/screenshot-167\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13076\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13076 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_4698.jpg\" alt=\"Playa Porto Mari \/ Things to Do on Curacao\" width=\"1150\" height=\"1529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_4698.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_4698-768x1021.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1150px) 100vw, 1150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Parking was hassle-free and free of charge.

Playa Lagun<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Playa Lagun is a small, photogenic beach hidden in a cove between rocks, almost like a natural pool. Yes, this is the beach where we stayed in a bungalow above the bay. Thanks to its calm and clear water, it&#8217;s one of the best places for snorkeling. You&#8217;ll often see colorful fish and sea turtles right near the shore, especially in the morning and late afternoon. The beach is also ideal as a stop for a quick swim while exploring the western part of the island.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong><em><a style=\"color: #008000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/cw\/hermosa-apartment.en.html?aid=347511&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&gt;&gt; Accommodation near Playa Lagun<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/en\/things-to-do-on-curacao-island\/screenshot-173\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13082\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13082\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_4714.jpg\" alt=\"Playa Lagun Curacao\" width=\"1170\" height=\"811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_4714.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_4714-768x532.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"622\" data-end=\"667\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Playa_Santa_Cruz\"><\/span><strong data-start=\"626\" data-end=\"667\"><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">8.

I recommend plenty of fluids, a head covering, and quality footwear that won&#8217;t be pierced by a cactus thorn. We had soft soles and had to remove thorns after arriving.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/en\/things-to-do-on-curacao-island\/screenshot-161\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13070\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13070\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_4684.jpeg\" alt=\"Playa Santa Cruz Curacao\" width=\"1170\" height=\"824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_4684.jpeg 1170w, https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_4684-768x540.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Directeursbaai\"><\/span>9. Directeursbaai<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the lesser-known beaches, but great for snorkeling. Underwater snorkeling routes along the coast with a guide also start from here. Directeursbaai is an inconspicuous beach with a wilder character and authentic atmosphere. It offers a rocky bottom and rich underwater life, often without crowds of tourists. An interesting part of the island if you&#8217;re looking for a secret tip for things to do on Curacao.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/en\/things-to-do-on-curacao-island\/screenshot-171-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13080\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_4709.jpg\" alt=\"Directeursbaai \/ Things to Do on Curacao\" width=\"984\" height=\"665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_4709.jpg 984w, https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_4709-768x519.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 984px) 100vw, 984px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Coral_Estate_%E2%80%93_Karakter_Beach_Lounge\"><\/span>10.

At the counter, you choose what fresh seafood or fish you want prepared and how, you get a number, and you sit at a table where you wait for the food to be brought to you by the staff.<\/p>\n<p>A simple yet excellent concept for a fish and seafood restaurant.
