Cas Abao, White sand beach in Pannekoek, Curacao.

Cas Abao is a private beach in northwestern Curaçao, near the village of Pannekoek. It has white sand and clear shallow water, with restaurants, bars, changing rooms and dive schools on site. The water is less suited to snorkelling because there is no coral and few fish.

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.

The beach is also known as Bon Bini Beach, named after the soap series Bon Bini Beach that was recorded here. The name Cas Abou comes from the plantation that existed on this site since 1696.

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.

The beach was the filming location for the soap series Bon Bini Beach, which shares its alternative name with the strand. Snorkelling is less rewarding here than at other Curaçao beaches: there is no coral, so few fish swim around. Divers instead find dive schools based right on the sand.
