Beach excursions for Curacao?

[littysmom]

Hi! We are sailing on the Horizon in April., we have yet to book anything for Curacao.  We want to find a nice beach to visit...can anyone recommend one, and how far of a drive from the cruise port? Do u get there by bus or taxi, or do u book with an independent tour guide 

Thank you

I really liked Mambo beach when we went on the Horizon last summer.  It's by the Seaquarium...lots of shops, restaurants, and bars in that area, along with free Wifi.  Chairs and cabanas to rent with plenty of shade.  They have a man-made lagoon that provides calm water in front of the beach and it's filled with fish for some very nice snorkelling and lots of people swim out to the rocks/breakwater to jump off.  Had a great time there, something for everyone...I'd check out some youtube vids to see if its appealing.  We took a taxi from the pier, no need to prebook reservations...tons of cruise passengers go there.

You might want to ask on the ports of call board for Curacao.
