Close and pretty beach

[cos24]

Hi, we're leaving from St Maarten at the end of June and heading to Curacao for the day. When we arrive we would like to go to a close and beautiful public beach near the cruise ship port. Either a 20 minute walk or short taxi ride is fine.  I saw Avila Beach on the map. Would that be a good suggestion? Can we just lay our towels down or just rent a couple chairs and umbrella?

Avila Beach is just south of Willemstad and you'd need to take a taxi to get there.  I f going southeast, you could go a little further to Mambo Beach.

 Going west from the cruise piers you could look at heading to the Marriott.  Beach area.  

Last time we were in Curacao, they were building a resort almost directly across from the cruise pier, but I have no idea if it's completed or if they offer day passes.

Check with Avila or Marriott about day passes or admittance fee.  E-mail them.
