Cas Abao, White sand beach in Pannekoek, Curacao.
Cas Abao is a beach on Curacao's western coast featuring white sand and turquoise water that slopes gradually. The warm water stays comfortable year-round, making it suitable for swimming and water activities of all kinds.
This shoreline formed naturally along the island's western edge and was used by settlers during Dutch trading periods. Over time it developed into a popular gathering spot for residents and visitors.
Local families gather at Cas Abao Beach during weekends to share traditional Antillean meals and celebrate important occasions near the water.
The beach offers chairs and umbrellas for rent along with a restaurant serving refreshments and light food. The water stays shallow near shore, making it safe for different swimming abilities.
A coral reef sits just offshore and hosts colorful fish and sea creatures easily visible from the shallow water. Snorkelers can explore this underwater world without needing to swim far from shore.
