What to do in Curacao
In Curacao, locals, not tourists, make up the majority of sun-worshipers on the postcard-worthy beaches that line much of this island, just 37 miles off the northern coast of Venezuela. Kenepa, Grandi, and Cas Abou are just a few of the white-sand havens. Locals are also enthusiastic about the island’s Caribbean cuisine and nightly seaside dance parties, where you’ll always hear the rhythmic thump of tumba, the African-derived music unique to Curacao. Willemstad, the island’s capital, anchors this paradise to reality. The port drives much of Curacao’s economy, supplemented by tourism from the cruise ships that dock here year-round. Willemstad’s pastel façades, duty-free shopping, and art galleries are nice, but the island boasts parkland with miles of hiking and horseback trails, and some of the Caribbean’s best diving.

serious snorkelers seek waterside resort along calm, clear areas of the Underwater Marine Park to snorkel daily right from the resort without renting a car to visit other beaches nor pay for excursions that take you away.
the expanse large enough to be explored over a week and safe enough you won't be killed by excessive boat traffic. (friends stayed at Breezes and their snorkeling area was too limited for our scope).
we keep coming across The Royal Sea Aquarium Resort but from the pictures i don't see the beach strip referred to and the water along the tiny "island" looks too dark and choppy to snorkel in? any thoughts? thanks
