Lagun

Lagun is a small coastal village on the west side of Curaçao. The village is best known for Playa Lagun: a narrow, picturesque bay between rock walls. The area is popular with travelers who want to snorkel, enjoy views over the sea and avoid the crowds of the larger beach resorts.

A bay between the rocks

Playa Lagun lies sheltered between steep rock walls. You can swim there and snorkel along the edges of the bay, depending on conditions. The clear water and calm feel make it an attractive stop on a trip along the west coast.

Views and excursions in the area

Above the bay there are viewpoints and places to eat where you can look out over the water. From Lagun you can also continue to Playa Jeremi or further towards Westpunt and the beaches of Kenepa.

Reaching Lagun with a rental car

With a rental car, Lagun fits well into a beach route through the west of Curaçao. Allow for differences in elevation, narrower roads and limited parking close to the bay.

Bring your own snorkeling gear if you want to explore several beaches, and do not leave valuables visible in the car.
