Playa Porto Mari

Beach · Curaçao, Curacao

A calm, well-organised bay on the west coast famous among divers for its unusual double reef, which also makes for excellent snorkelling close to shore. There is an open-air restaurant, a dive centre and marked walking trails in the surrounding hills, and the beach runs almost entirely on solar power as part of its conservation focus. Resident pigs occasionally wander the sand, to the delight of children.
