We had such a lovely day in Curacao. We started with a short tour of the local history and highlights and then headed west for a beach day. Lee made the history fun for our group of 3 adults and 4 children and did name that tune for the kids for the longer part of the drive.
Playa Piskado was fantastic for turtles and fish. We lingered quite a while. The big tour buses came early and then cleared out so we enjoyed some quieter time. Lee had coins for the bathrooms and plenty of bottled water. Next stop was Playa Forti where all 4 kids jumped off the cliffs. The beach was also beautiful and not crowded.
We had a lovely late lunch with a view over the cliffs. After lunch the kids were spent so we just drove past Grote Knip and Cas Abao. If you want gorgeous and less crowded do GK; CA was beautiful but super crowded and largely mobbed by your buses that reserved most of the chairs.
Water shoes are ideal for the first two beaches due to rocks and coral. We didn’t have any though and it was fine.
The combo of history and fantastic beaches made it a truly lovely day.
