Grote Knip, Beach and reef complex in Curacao, Caribbean Sea
The reef at Grote Knip extends from the shoreline into deeper waters, with coral formations supporting various marine species and tropical fish.
The area around Grote Knip bears connections to the 1795 slave revolt, with the nearby Landhuis Knip plantation house now serving as the Tula Museum.
The name Knip derives from Kenepa, a local fruit tree cultivated on the former plantation, producing fruits similar to lychee.
Visitors can access both the beach and reef through stone stairs from the parking area, with rental options for beach chairs and umbrellas.
The waters at Grote Knip transition through multiple shades of blue, creating distinct zones for swimming near shore and snorkeling by the rocks.
