Baya Beach, Beach at Caracas Bay, Curaçao
Baya Beach is a sandy shoreline located on the southeastern peninsula of Caracas Bay adjacent to Fort Beekenburg in Caribbean waters. The beach stretches along this sheltered bay and provides access to the sea in a calm setting.
The beach preserves remnants of an old port facility from when Royal Dutch Shell operated in this location, with structures still visible today. This infrastructure reflects the industrial history of the region and its economic importance during the 20th century.
The beach draws locals and visitors together, especially in the evenings when people gather to socialize and unwind. This reflects how coastal communities in Curaçao use their beaches as natural meeting places.
Equipment rental for water sports is available directly on the beach, including diving gear, canoes, and jet skis for various maritime activities. This on-site availability means visitors can pursue water-based recreation without needing to travel elsewhere for gear.
The beach serves as a departure point for boat excursions to the nearby island of Klein Curaçao, accessible directly from this shore. This connection makes it a convenient starting point for visitors interested in exploring additional islands in the area.
