Travel to Curaçao
Besides the lovely beaches and other seaside attractions, you should spend some time sightseeing the interior of the island. Curacao’s capital city, Willemstad, is lined with stunning buildings of bright blue, orange and yellow. Be sure to visit the numerous museums, the Floating Market, the tall Queen Juliana Bridge and the Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge. Then head to Punda for excellent shopping and cuisine. In the Christoffel National Park, you’ll see Indian cave paintings, numerous species of iguana and, if you’re very lucky, the small, white-tailed Curaçao deer. The panoramic views of island and sea from the top of the mountain are stunning. The lighthouse on Klein Curacao is also a quaint sight and the perfect setting for unique topside photography.
Diving in Curaçao
Featuring easy shore access to most dive sites, independent divers and boat diving enthusiasts both will love the healthy coral reefs, sloping walls and shipwrecks of Caribbean Curacao. This Caribbean island features wonderful coral reefs, walls and sunken ships. The island’s dive spots are protected from strong currents, there is small river spread out to deter visibility and the waters are warm year-round, making this is a great site for those just blowing their first bubbles or learning a new expertise. Most of Curacao’s dive sites are accessible from shore, and most resorts have gorgeous house reefs to explore. The majority of dive sites are located along the southwest coast of Curacao. Advanced divers should head to the north when conditions permit.
