Go into Willemstad
Go into Willemstad. Park on the Punda side so you don’t have to deal with going over that Juliana bridge so often. This thing is really high, with only about a 3 ½ foot high guard rail that is only about two feet from where your vehicle drives, and cars are whizzing by. Parking no problem in Punda. Go to The round house market. Lots of locals selling their wares. Trinkets, fruits and veggies, fish. Walk down where the floating market is, really interesting. Evidently these guys make their way from Venezuela every morning before sunrise to sell fish, fruits and vegetables. Hard life! Do a little shopping and have lunch at an outdoor café’! Have an Amstel! Walk over to Otrobanda. They have some more outdoor vendors!

Scuba on the West Side of Curacao
The west side of Curacao has several protected white sand beaches. The shore slopes gently to about 15 meters then drops off sharply creating a wall for coral and larger sea life. Although I have been certified for 3 years, I had never taken an unescorted dive. The Marriott scuba center quoted me close to $500 to take 4 divers on a 2 tank morning dive off the coast of the resort. SInce the waters were rough I decided to take a drive to another location and look for a dive shop. In Lagun, I Was greeted by a quiet gentlemen at Discover Diving who proceeded to show me a map of the underwater area and suggested I would be fine with an unescorted dive. He suited up my entire family for about $80 for the day and we were welcome to get fresh tanks for $6/each. The dive was wonderful and I saved $400 which paid for my car rental for the week.

  • Address: Lagun Beach, NW coast of Curacao
  • Directions: Follow signs to Westpunt and look for Discover Diving signs as you approach Lagun - can't miss it!
