Santa Barbara Beach, Curaçao

Santa Barbara Beach extends along a white sand shore with clear waters, bordered by abundant palm trees and overlooking a marina in southeast Curaçao.

The beach area occupies land previously used for phosphate mining operations, with remnants of the mining facilities still visible near Tafelberg mountain.

The beach integrates Caribbean and Dutch influences through its architecture, dining venues, and recreational activities offered at the adjacent Santa Barbara Resort.

Visitors can access the beach for a $15 car entrance fee, with amenities including restaurants, swimming pools, changing rooms, and water sports equipment rentals.

The beach sits within a 2,000-acre natural preserve featuring hiking trails, mountain biking paths, and a protected swimming area created by a rock jetty.
