Playa Jeremi

Playa Jeremi is one of the smaller beaches on Curaçao's west coast. The bay lies not far from Lagun, between high rock walls that give the beach a sheltered character. You will not find a large beach club or rows of parasols here, but a natural setting where it is all about swimming, snorkeling and enjoying the peace and quiet.

A small bay with a big character

From the parking lot you look out over a narrow inlet with bright blue water. You reach the beach via uneven steps carved out of the rocks. The ground consists of a combination of sand, pebbles and volcanic material. The beach is compact and the amount of shade is limited.

It is precisely the lack of extensive facilities that makes Playa Jeremi appealing to people who like to visit a simple little beach. You bring your own towel, food and drinks and find a spot by the water. There is no restaurant or toilet facility on the beach.

Discovering the underwater world

Playa Jeremi is an interesting location for snorkelers. Especially along the rocky sides of the bay you can come across fish that live among the coral and the stones. Further from the shore, the sandy bottom gives way to a reef area.

Divers also visit the bay for its underwater nature. For snorkelers, visibility and water conditions can differ from day to day. While snorkeling, stay away from sharp rocks and do not touch the coral.

A beautiful spot for the sunset

Playa Jeremi is also known for its view during sunset. The westward position gives you a view of the sun slowly disappearing over the Caribbean Sea. That makes the beach appealing for a visit at the end of a day full of discoveries.

Getting there with your rental car

From Willemstad you drive toward the west of Curaçao and follow the roads to Lagun. A short access road brings you to the parking lot above the beach. The descent via the uneven staircase makes Playa Jeremi less suitable for visitors with limited mobility.

Combine your visit with, for example, Playa Lagun, Kenepa Chiki or Kenepa Grandi. This way you discover different sides of the west coast in a single drive.
