Kokomo Beach, Beach in Vaersenbaai, Curaçao
Kokomo Beach is a sandy shore on the western side of Curaçao with shallow, clear water and scattered palm trees. The beach stretches along a gentle coastline with small restaurants and facilities set back from the water's edge.
The island became a Dutch possession in 1634 and developed into an important maritime trading hub for the Caribbean region. The western coast where this beach sits gradually transformed from a working fishing area into a leisure destination.
This beach serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors mix throughout the week, especially on weekends when families claim their favorite spots. The local food culture centers on seafood prepared with Caribbean spices and methods passed down through generations.
Equipment rental for water sports is available at the beach, along with changing facilities and shower areas. Parking is nearby and public buses provide regular service from central Willemstad.
Coral formations sit just offshore where colorful fish move between the rocks and branching corals. Snorkelers can explore this underwater life without swimming far from the shoreline.
