Tugboat Bar — Restaurant in Curaçao

Excellent location, nice decoration of the bar, exactly what you need to feel like you are in the Carribean but it all went to waste with the behaviour of the owner of the place. The guy was extremely rude to the people sitting on the sunbeds because they had not paid 3 dollars, which is okay but it was not indicated along the beach. I was unlucky to witness an incident of him coming close to physical violence with a tour guide of another tour operator in the area because the other tour's people sat down for less than a minute. Sorry for the bad review, I dont do that often and I dont mean to give a stamp to the business but I wish this nice place is run by people that can realise that they earn from people and tourists are not enemies. Even if the people mistakenly sit on the sunbed ,I am sure there is a better way to communicate it . Also even if you disagree with another guide I believe its really unprofessional to make a scene in front of...

Ok. The place is great but it's a shack on a small beach. It's cozy and the beer is cold. The area is known as "The Tug Boat" which is good for scuba diving and snorkeling, There is no "dive shop" there. Lots of dive schools or divers go there. Jaime the guy running the place does painting art and you can also participate with him. The underwater life is great! This is a underwater photographer must do. The pier has a drilling ship moored to it but it has been there for years. Underneath the pier the marine life is abundant on the pillars and there are currently 3 sea horses under the pier. The Tug Boat is about 300 feet from the beach, near the shoreline. One of the many coral nurseries is also there. Look but don't touch. It's a local place hidden away but you can spend a few hours there diving, snorkeling or drinking beer. Very...

Tugboat beach is another must visit off the beaten path. The drive in to the location is a rough dirt road. The beach is a small area, decorated with a wonderful Caribbean hippie vibe. Beer and hotdogs are served by a friendly local. The scuba diving/snorkeling here was very cool in that there are live corals within an easy swim. Fun place to visit and spend a few hours. There was a large off-shore oil drilling rig docked next to the beach at the pier during our visit. It was in for maintenance. While it distracted from the natural beauty, it was very cool to see such a structure up close. Additionally, I'm amazed that the island has figured out how to drill and refine oil while keeping their natural resources protected...
