Curacao Travel Guide

• Choose your beach carefully. The northwestern coastline is rugged and not good for swimming, but the western coastline is sheltered with mellower waters. Locals call large beaches playas and smaller inlets bocas.
• Get taxi quotes. Curacao cabs don't have meters, so you need to get a quote from the driver before going anywhere to avoid a surprise later.
• Use English or Spanish. Even though it's a Dutch island, both English and Spanish are widely spoken and understood. You'll also hear the local Papiamentu dialect—a mixture of Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, French, English, and Arawak Indian.
• Feed sharks by hand and swim with dolphins at the Curacao Sea Aquarium.
• Curacao Underwater Park offers a glimpse of some of the island's best preserved reefs.
