Curacao beaches after 2pm

If we dock at Curacao at 2:00 pm would we be able to visit a beach for a reasonable amount of time? We would like to take a taxi to a nearby beach and spend as much time as possible there before it gets too dark and or dangerous and be able to get a taxi ride back. Any suggestions?

This post will prob get moved to "ports of call". I have asked the same question numerous times with really no responce. Hope someone can give us advice. ;)

Plenty of time to get to the beaches and back

If you go East - towards the sea Aquarium - there is a line of lovely sand beaches - it is built up with hotels behind - but has shops /promenade /safe swimming etc - each hotel names its beach diferently but they are all one long beach ~ 20 min away dep on traffic

West - If you want more rural setting, palm trees, reefs to snorkel , lovely cafe you can't beat Porto Marie- there is small charge for a sun bed ~ 30 min away

Previous posts have mentioned what people have paid to get there

Beaches normally close at 6pm - but your taxi driver will come and pick you up - very safe driving around at night - don't worry about that

When we have a port stop in Curacao with a 2 o'clock arrival which means we won't get off for another thirty minutes, it never seems worth the effort to go to the beach.

There is so much to do walking from the Cruise terminal - if you are not a 100 % beach person - take the time to wander round Punda and Otrobanda - there are really good free maps at the far end of the floating bridge - at the tourist info booth - they even have walking tours in them.

Go to a beach on another stop

sunset and dusk are great around the floating brodge

I'm not the OP.

Do agree with your advice. We never a problem finding things to do in Curacao when it is inconvenient to go to the beach. Hopefully, the OP won't either.
