I can’t get enough of this amazing island in the Caribbean, where sunshine☀️ is the best daily vitamin. A quick trip gave me the opportunity to explore some of their famous beaches this time around…and let’s just say there wasn’t a beach I didn’t like!
Blue Bay Beach💙🩵 – this is an easy one because it’s where we stay. The Brass Boer rents Palapas for the day (make a reservation) and it’s a treat worth splurging on.
Grote Knip Beach 🏝️…
I am not sure I have ever seen water this turquoise and clear! No entrance fee, but a $15 charge for two chairs and an umbrella. You can bring in your own food/drinks. There’s a yummy smoothie place right by the parking lot.

We paid $6 a car (and you then travel via a gravel road for 5 minutes). You also pay for chairs. They have a snack bar/bar, and your chair ticket gets you a token for the shower.
The next day we drove about 10 minutes from Blue Bay, passed a Flamingo preserve, and went where The Beach Boys sang it best… “There’s a place called Kokomo, that’s where you wanna go to get away from it all. Bodies in the sand, tropical drink🍹melting in your hand, we’ll be falling in love🩵 to the rhythm of a steel drum 🥁 band, down in Kokomo…”
Kokomo Beach has swings! Careful getting out there as it’s a bit slippery. Then there’s a short pier and a floating deck we swam out to as well. This beach was one of my favorites. I felt like I really could get away from it all!
In addition, there’s a dive shop with finds from the USS Erie, a ship that was torpedoed and beached off Curacao during WWII on November 12, 1942.
