baseball16 Posted May 9, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2012 My family is visiting curacao in Sept on the Carnival Freedom. We are mom, dad, 2 sons 31 and 25 yrs old. Is the town and beach close enough to the ships to do alone without a tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhisibabe Posted May 11, 2012 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2012 It only takes about 15 minutes to walk into the town. You have to cross the pontoon bridge to get there which is quite interesting. I'm not sure how far the beach is though as we caught a taxi to the Sea Aquarium and then went to a beach next to there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted May 13, 2012 #3 Share Posted May 13, 2012 You'll absolutely need a taxi to get to the beach. There are none within walking distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseapril Posted May 15, 2012 #4 Share Posted May 15, 2012 We like to spend part of the day at the Blue Bay Resort. Nice beach, pool, good snorkeling. Need a taxi to get there. The Hilton Curacao also has a day pass. Both resorts have websites. There are quite a few nice beaches in Curacao. Most require a taxi ride.

holdon216 Posted May 15, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I thought i had read that Holiday Beach is 4-5 blocks from the Mega Pier??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mizLORInj Posted May 18, 2012 #6 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I don't remember seeing any beaches near the port. To the left was industry, and to the right there is a big hotel with an infinity pool (Renaissance?) but no beaches within walking distance.

Isa65 Posted May 18, 2012 #7 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I thought i had read that Holiday Beach is 4-5 blocks from the Mega Pier??? You can walk to the Holiday Beach hotel (now called Veneto) in about 20 - 25 minutes. The road towards this area is VERY busy and the beach is NOT nice. NOT recommended at all.
