Grote Knip — Attraction in Curaçao

We stopped by here and Cas Abao/Abou during our Virgin Voyages cruise stop at Curaçao (we rented a car and drove out to Grote Knip, which took about 45 minutes). Although we read online that there was an entry fee, there was no one at the gate, so we got in for free.

The chairs were $5 for all day rental. You just pick the chair you want and they'll come around and charge you for it, but it's possible you can use it without getting charged for it if they miss you! Again, got to use the chairs for around 90 minutes for free.

Drinks were cash only; a corona was $5 USD. It's nice that you can drink on the beach. We absolutely held our beers in our hands while actually in the water, too. Bathrooms and showers are pay by usage, 1 ANG, cash; you can probably pay 1 USD but you'd be overpaying, technically. This system kinda sucks because I feel like it encourages people to just go pee in the ocean.

Don't leave food in your bags--the resident wild pigs will sniff it out and absolutely steal away with it and eat it!

The water is so incredibly beautiful, it looks fake. Snorkel and glass-bottom SUPs and sea scooters are available for...

The beach is very beautiful and has plenty of facilities and parking. The water are a stunning color with white sand. The entry to the water is cover is broken coral so wear swim shoes. If you like cliff diving you can do it here from several different spots. If you are snorkeling, you will find the majority of the fish near the cliffs. Current can be strong but nothing we were not able to easily swim out of. You can rent beach chairs with an umbrella for $15 us saved the ticket because you can use it the same day at their sister beach Kleine Knip just 1 min drive away( it has a lot more fish to see while Snorkeling). You can buy fresh coconuts , smoothies and other snacks here. The ladies at the smoothie truck by the entrance prepared their smoothies with real fruit and they are delicious and it only cost $7 - $8 us . Almost everywhere in the island takes card but bring cash just in case the electricity is down in the island( happened...
