Porto Marie is another expansive beach perfect for relaxing, swimming, or diving.  There is a small entry fee, but the money is well spent, maintaining the beach to five-star standards.

Northwest of Willemstad, travel 7.3 km West on Weg Naar Westpunt from the Weg Naar Hato intersection.  Turn left to head to St. Willibrordus and St. Marie.  Travel 4.7 km to reach the intersection shown on the Saint Marie dive site.  Follow the instructions from there.

Port Marie

This site was worth two-day-dive out of a week. Beautiful double reef system. Look at the map at the bar before diving. You will feel more comfortable being familiar with what you will see underwater. Good visibility, easy entry, huge sponges and corals. Afterwards, the beach is an invitation for relaxing. Spend the whole day and dive again, or just enjoy yourself under one of the many umbrellas available.

#2 - Port Marie

Cas Abao is another example of the pristine beaches that can be found on Curacao.  This is a good family beach, for spending the morning or afternoon, but is also a premier dive site.

Northwest of Willemstad, travel 12.3 km West on Weg Naar Westpunt from the Weg Naar Hato intersection to San Pedro.  Turn left to head toward Soto.  Travel 3.3 km to reach the intersection shown below.

Cas Abao

It's a good place to go on weekdays, since you will have a lot of umbrellas available. Easy entry and easy dive. The visibility was fine and my wife and I took beautiful pictures underwater. It's worth spending the rest of the day at the beach. Good facilities with a rinse tank by the restrooms.
