Playa Lagun

A long, narrow bay cutting deep into the land on the west coast, framed by cliffs. Sea turtles often appear while snorkeling, and it has a quiet fishing-village atmosphere.

Towering limestone cliffs rise on both sides of the bay. Fishing boats are pulled up on the sand, and the water is so clear you can see straight to the bottom. Snorkeling along the cliff walls reveals sea turtles, octopuses and schools of fish. The beach is free, and there are small dive shops and snack bars nearby, though facilities are basic. It is about a 45-minute drive from Willemstad. It works well as part of a western beaches day trip together with Grote Knip and Playa Piscadera.
