Which Beach is best for?

[Rob1966]

Hi,

 

We are in Curacao on Dec 23rd - Looking for a decent beach, I require a beach with a bar for a snack and also a must is a Sun lounger with an umbrella (I like the shade).

We love to swim but not too bothered with Snorkelling (Done it a lot).

We arrive 0800 and depart 1700, a beach not so packed would be ideal.

 

Looking to get a rough idea of Sun lounger cost and Taxi cost from the cruise port.

 

thanks

 

Rob

Rob on a cruise ship day, our beaches are usually crowded (especially with a larger ship).

With that being said, for what you are looking for which sounds like a calmer water beach, take a look at Mambo beach or Blue Bay.

Perhaps a day pass at Avila, Santa Barbara Resort or even the Renaissance hotel. 

Here are the taxi rates.

We enjoyed our morning at Blue Bay.  The bus picked us up- so we were back to the ship on time.

The  Avila Looks to be good value, what would be the rough cost of a taxi from Port?

 

thanks

I'm going to guess and say $20-$25.

Does anyone know if it's possible to take the public bus to Avila?

Do you mean Pirate's Bay beach? Yes, it's a smaller beach, with a bar and restaurant. 

There is an entrance fee and a fee to use the chairs.

You cannot bring in any food or beverages other than water and chips.

I think it's worth it.

We think the food is good, bar snacks, sandwiches as well as larger plates.
