Cas Abao

Cas Abao is one of the best-known beaches in Curaçao. As soon as you see the bay, you understand why: light sand, clear turquoise water and a green setting together form a typical Caribbean picture. The beach lies on the western side of the island, in the area of Sint Willibrordus. With a rental car you can easily combine this spot with other beaches nearby.

A relaxed day by the sea

Cas Abao is especially suitable if you want to plan a complete beach day. You can swim, sunbathe and relax by the water. The sand slopes gradually towards the sea and the sheltered location often provides pleasant swimming conditions. Still, it remains important to take wind, waves and any current into account.

The beach has facilities such as sun loungers, toilets, showers and places to eat and drink. This means you do not have to bring everything yourself. Do keep in mind that costs may apply for access and certain facilities. It can get busy, especially on weekends and popular holidays.

Snorkeling at Cas Abao

If you like to snorkel, you can explore the rocky ends of the bay. There the sandy bottom turns into an environment of stones, coral and various kinds of fish. Stay at a safe distance from the reef and do not touch the coral. Diving is also among the possibilities here.

Practical tips for your visit

• Preferably leave in the morning if you want to find a quiet spot.
• Bring water shoes for the rocky sections.
• When snorkeling, use only safe, accessible parts of the bay.
• Check the current entrance fees and facilities in advance.
• Optionally combine your visit with Porto Mari or Daaibooi.

With a rental car you reach Cas Abao via the western main roads of Curaçao. Follow the local signs to the beach and take the access rules into account. It is an attractive destination for families, couples and anyone who wants to enjoy the sea in comfort.
