Curaçao is the biggest island in the Dutch Antilles . Willemstad is both the capital and the main town on the island, as well as being an important port. Curaçao is close to the Venezuelan coast.
The local language is Papiamentu, while the official language is Dutch. English and Spanish are widely spoken there. Curaçao has a great variety of pretty little beaches that are remarkable for the clearness of their water.
Most of the beaches are on the island’s south coast, where the sea tends to be calm. On the northern coast, the beaches are rockier and the sea generally rougher, making them popular among surfers who come for the waves.
Among the most popular beaches are: Knip, Porto Marie, Kalki, Barbara Beach, and Mambo Beach. These wonderful beaches are ideal for scuba diving and snorkeling, and you will be amazed at the great diversity of submarine scenery, with coral reefs and tropical fish on view.
If what you are looking for is a tropical paradise, Curaçao is the place for you!
