mcmarya Posted May 30, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2015 We will be in Curacao later this year from 7 am - 4 pm. Last visit we rented a car and stopped at several beaches, enjoying the wonderful snorkeling. This time, renting is not as good an option due to the schedule. We just want to find a place to see some sealife that won't be too expensive to reach by cab--we don't care about beach chairs or other facilities, just snorkeling. Any suggestions?

Isa65 Posted May 30, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Unfortunately you will not find any good snorkeling close to the pier. The closest decent snorkeling would be at Blue Bay - about 10-13 minutes away by taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmarya Posted May 31, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Is there a place near the Marriott? That doesn't look too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slabeaume Posted June 24, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Blue Bay isn't a bad choice. We ended up there and LOVED it. There is a little snorkeling actually in the bay, but it gets a lot better if you go around the points of the bay. There's another shallow bay around the left of Blue Bay and kept us occupied for quite awhile. I even saw a lionfish there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmarya Posted June 25, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Thanks for the information. We may try going there. I know there is an admission fee there--what does it cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slabeaume Posted July 1, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Noone collected a fee from us. The taxi ride was about $50 rt for the 2 of us. It dropped us off at the entrance to Blue Bay resort. We walked to the beach and put our stuff under a tree and took off snorkeling. Perhaps they would have hunted us down if we took a chair. If you'd care to check out our day, I blogged it here: http://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/2015/05/2015-april-17-may-1-southern-caribbean.html Curacoa was our last port, so that day is near the bottom of my blog.
