 Riffort is now a shopping mall
in Curacao by dlytle
During World War II a steel net was stretched across the bay between Waterfort and Riffort to prevent enemy ships, especially submarines from entering the harbor. In the course of time the Riffort has housed the Authority, Public Works, the police and even Boy Scouts have found shelter here.
Nowadays it houses a modern shopping mall and a restaurant whose terrace overlooks the harbor. Leave a Comment Directions: Towards to Mega Pier Cruise Terminal at the mouth of the harbor on the Otrobanda side of the town.

This is a must see when you go to Willemstad. The museum is located in many different buildings and its is absolutely beautiful. The museum spans ancient history to mostly slave history and specifically slaves in Curacao. You could potentially spend a lot of time here or not much time at all. There is a gift shop, sculpture garden, coffee shop and cafe area. Directions: On the Otroband side of Willemstad. Take the ferry from Punda and turn right. Follow the signs.

 snorkeling by Valeggua
Curacao has some of the clearest water in the Caribbean, with average visibility running anywhere from 80-140 feet (25-40m) which will help you fully appreciate the 80 miles of pristine coral reef encircling the island.
Tropical fish, sea turtles, seahorses, eels, and (if you're lucky) even dolphins just swimming around you!
I found a website with 80 different dive locations:

This is an interesting area to walk around. If its a hot day think twice about visiting the park because there is absolutely no shade. In some areas there are lots of cactus but mostly there's just a lot of rocks. Bring lots of water because you cannot buy any there. You can spend about 2 hours here walking around (or you can even drive to each sight). There is one main trail that leads you to three areas along the water. The most southern sight is called Boka Pistol. Here is a cool area where the ocean meets the rocks and creates a blowhole where the water shoots up and out. The next sight is called Boka Kalki. Here is another beach stop. People have left pebbles and rocks as messages on the beach. The last sight is Boka Wandomi. This was my favorite. Make sure you climb sown the stairs to the sand. One side of the cliff has man made chairs and seats that are fun. You can also see a natural bridge that reaches out into the ocean. There is also a cave that you can go into. Entrance fee was NAfl 2,65. Directions: Near Westpunt on the east side of the island. If you are coming from the east drive past the entrance for Christoffel Park.
