marys350 Posted November 22, 2007 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Hi, Has anybody gone to Santa Barbara Beach and the Curacao Underwater Marine Park recently? I had been thinking of going to Kontiki Beach, but my husband is interested in going to Santa Barbara Beach to snorkel instead. What facilities and amenities are available (umbrellas, chairs, restrooms, refreshments, etc.)? Any information regarding which beach is better, cost of taxis, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks, Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Mary You should check to see if the Santa Barbara Beach is open yet... it wasn't open the last time I was there. It had been closed for hotel construction.

marys350 Posted November 25, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Thanks for the information. It looks like the beach is still closed from what I could find on the internet. I guess it will be Kontiki for us after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecookie Posted November 26, 2007 #4 Share Posted November 26, 2007 marys350 (or anyone else who knows): Please tell me about Kontiki Beach. I have your same question: What facilities and amenities are available (lockers, umbrellas, chairs, restrooms, refreshments, etc.)? What do they charge for these amenities? Do they have any watersports there? Is it very crowded? We will be there on Wednesday, January 23. We usually try to get to the beach before noon and stay for abouot 2 hours. Is there a better beach to visit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marys350 Posted November 26, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi, Kontiki Beach is right near Seaquarium Beach and Mambo Beach. I have never been to any of them, however, I've done "google" searches and found pictures and information about Kontiki Beach. You can rent chairs and umbrellas and there is a restaurant there. Try checking out the following website and also doing a search for "Kontiki Beach" on cruisecritic. I believe that there are a number of threads with more information. http://www.kontikibeachclub.net Good luck in your search. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
