Kenepa Beach
Kenepa Beach in Willemstad is a favourite. Consisting of 2 beaches, Grote Knip and Klein Knip, you’ ll find calm, aquamarine waters, safe and inviting. Parents can comfortably relax while the children paddle around. Snorkel, sunbathe? Whatever’ s your pleasure, you can have it at one or both of these beaches.

Rif Fort
Situated at the entrance of St. Anna Bay, this military fort built in 1828 once protected the harbour for almost a century. With walls nearly a foot thick, the fort was considered to be bomb-proof. Today, it houses a museum and trendy shopping area with restaurants, bars and entertainment.

Plasa Bieu
Inside what is called the“ Old Market”, you’ ll find authentic food in kitchens manned by locals who hold the secrets to delectable island cooking. Generous servings are plated and eagerly consumed by locals and tourists alike. On the menu are traditional dishes such as stewed goat, rice and peas, fried plantain, pumpkin pancakes and funchi. You’ ll sit on rustic benches in their food court amidst the cacophony of voices, but some say these are the best meals on the island!
