Sint Willibrordus
Curacao · Bandabou · 20 m
Description
Sint Willibrordus is a village of a few hundred people around a bright yellow church in the middle of the island, and it is the access point for two of the best beaches on Curaçao. Cas Abao and Porto Mari both sit in coves with reef starting a few metres from the sand and a double reef at Porto Mari that divers come specifically for. Between the village and the sea lies a salt pan where several hundred flamingos stand through the dry months, close enough to the road to watch without a hide.
