Sint Willibrordus

Sint Willibrordus is located in the western part of Curaçao, between hills, salt pans and well-known beaches. The area is quieter than Willemstad and offers a pleasant mix of nature, small villages and bays. With a rental car you can easily combine several outings here.

Flamingos and the landscape around Jan Kok

Flamingos can regularly be seen at the salt pans around Sint Willibrordus. Watch the birds from accessible viewpoints, keep your distance and do not enter the nature reserve where this is not permitted.

The roads through this part of the island lead past open plains, hills and characteristic plantation houses. Take your time along the way to enjoy the landscape.

Beaches to discover

Cas Abao, Porto Mari and Daaibooi are among the beaches you can visit from Sint Willibrordus. They differ in atmosphere and facilities: from comfortable beach days to quieter bays where you bring your own supplies.

Practical tips for a drive

A rental car is the most convenient way to explore this area. Check the opening times and any entrance fees of beaches in advance, as these can differ. Bring water and sun protection, especially if you plan several stops.

There are a few places to eat in the area, but the choice is more limited than in Willemstad. So feel free to combine your beach visit with a lunch stop along the way.
