Are all the Curacao Beaches Rocky?

[TanIslandGirl]

From the little bit of research I have done about Curacao, it seems that most of the beaches are very rocky. Is this how all the beaches are in Curacao or can anybody suggest a beach that isnt rocky? Thanks:)

Playa Porto Mari seemed pretty sandy. But even there it was rocky enough at the water line that I'd personally wear water shoes.

Mambo Beach is not rocky at all. The sand is very smooth...

When were you there last? Thanks.

We were there last week on Tuesday, 1/18/2010. If you take a taxi from Punda, it's about $4/pp. The beach is very popular, but we had no problem finding chairs and shade. The water was beautiful. It also has a rock reef if you want to snorkel. My fiance went snorkeling and saw 15+ type of fishes.

Busybears, thanks for your quick reply. Now I need to decide between Playa Mari Beach, Blue Bay or Mambo! What to do? LOL!

I don't know anything about Blue Bay. Between the other two: If someone wanted to spend part of the day touring them Mambo is closer and would fit in better. I've seen Mambo/Kontiki and had lunch there and it looks very nice but overall for a day of just beach, with a little snorkeling, I've been picking Porto Mari.

Thanks Larry. I have seen your pictures of Porto Mari (Same as Playa Mari Beach?) and they are beautiful! That is why I am unsure! :)

Just returned from our cruise on the Miracle. We took a cab to Jan Teal beach. The sand was very soft & clean. The entrance to the beach in the cove area was very rocky. There was another area to enter the water with a pool type ladder, at that spot there was hardly any rocks.

We had a nice day there.
