Grote Knip (Playa Kenepa Grandi)
Playa Kenepa Grandi
Curaçao's most photogenic beach: a crescent of white sand and sea shifting from turquoise to deep blue, best seen from the clifftop. Admission is free.
The bay lies in the west, near the Kenepa estate. Its soft white sand and water fading from pale green to deep blue look best from the clifftop viewpoint beside the parking lot. Entry is free. There are simple snack stands, restrooms and lounger rentals, and you can snorkel near the reefs on either side of the bay to spot schools of fish. Nearby is a rock platform where locals jump off the cliffs. The beach is about a 50-minute drive from Willemstad and gets crowded on weekends.
