Curacao is home to more than 35 beautiful beaches, so you’ll find plenty of options in its capital city. Among Willemstad’s most popular beaches is Kanepa, which is separated into two sections. The larger Kenepa Grandi is a bigger beach with white sand and crystal-clear waters overlooking a majestic view. The smaller Kenepa Chiki is a quieter beach with waters tailor-made for snorkeling.
