Klein Curaçao
An uninhabited island about 25 km southeast of Curaçao, with white sand beaches, a pink old lighthouse and a shipwreck. A day trip here lets you snorkel with sea turtles.
The island has no permanent residents. Its attractions are the remains of a 19th-century pink lighthouse, the wreck of a stranded oil tanker, and long stretches of white sand with clear water where sea turtles are often seen. Day-trip boats usually depart from Spanish Water or Jan Thiel, taking about 1.5 to 2 hours one way. Tickets typically include lunch, drinks and snorkel gear. The open sea can be choppy, so anyone prone to seasickness should take medication in advance. There is almost no shade on the island, so bring plenty of sun protection.
