Most of Curacao's 30-plus natural beaches are free of hotels, and some are free of any facilities at all. Playa Knip, on the northwest coast, has a snack bar and restrooms but remains a place where you can experience the natural beauty of Curacao, including sand as white as a wedding dress and amazingly clear water. A local favorite, it's also a beach where you can experience island culture. Weekends can be very crowded, but at 5 p.m. on a weekday, it may be just the two of you digging your toes into the sand and watching the sun slide into the sea.
