I stopped at this beach while my cruise ship was in port. It was great to be around more island locals and less tourists. It was Labor Day in Curacao when we stopped here, and many of the locals came here for a day at the beach. The bar staff was very friendly, and there was a fairly extensive menu.... More

Playa Porto Marie has everything that a family with young children need at the beach! A cute little restaurant and bar, bathrooms, snorkeling and diving gear, umbrellas and beach chairs.

A great place to spend the morning. Get there early for a prime spot as it fills up by noon. Lots of wildlife, including hummingbirds. Snorkeling was pretty good, better to the right. Saw moray eels, trunk fish, a few types of angel fish and other brightly colored specimens. Not much for coral. Was $6 per person to use the... More

My family and I spent a week in Curacao in April 2013, and were hoping to make it to a few beaches on the west end of the island, but Playa Porto Marie was the only one we made it to. Fortunately, we thought it was fantastic. They do charge you to get in, but for my wife and I,... More

This a beautiful place: a long beach with White sand, lézards, pelican and all beach services that you can find. But: too many people, and the Beach is not large.I prefer KNIP BAY

Great diving, funny bartenders, good dive shop. It was so easy to dive and eat and so much better than the vibe at our hotel (Kura Hulanda lodge) that we spent quite a few days there. The sunbathing chairs and beach was good too!

This was one of the nicest beaches in Curacao. We were glad we found it as a lot of the beaches are small and rocky. This beach had lots of fine white sand and the snorkeling was OK. The sun bed were comfortable and there was lots of shade.

Outstanding beach nestled into nature. Excellent snorkeling. Very good restaurant at the beach. Beach chairs available at reasonable rental price. We spent many hours there and love it.

Driving out to Porto, one would never expect this gem in the rough. Stop by the Flamingos on the way, there won't be as many there in the afternoon, they are marked on the map by a red star maybe 5 miles short of the bay. When you pull up you see this quaint little bay in a picture perfect... More

This protect bay is perfect to send the day at. Beautiful white sand beach, gentle wave action, lots of lounge chairs plus shade when you are ready for shade. Great open air restaurant and a full service dive center. The Porto Marie reef is not to be missed. We encountered several Morey Eels, a Turtle, Spotted Stingray and a fist... More
