One of the first beaches you encounter when you leave town and drive toward the west side of Cura\u00e7ao for a nice beach is Daaibooi. A lovely little beach where many locals also come to enjoy themselves. Extra plus: Kees’s snack bar!<\/h5>\n\n

Daaibooi Beach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Daaibooi beach, located on Bandabou, is a 30-minute drive<\/a> from Willemstad. You follow the Road to West Point and turn at St. Willibrordus to the left. Drive down the road until you reach Willibrordus Church and just before the cemetery turn left onto Road to Daaibooi. You come out to the parking lot of Daaibooi Beach. This parking lot is unpaved, but there is plenty of parking. It is a public beach so access is free<\/strong> and it is open at all times. Want to combine Daaibooi Beach with another beach? Then you have Playa Porto Marie<\/a> just a 10-minute drive away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Barbecuing together<\/h3>\n\n

This beach is not only popular with tourists, but also with locals. Especially on weekends, you will run into families and groups of friends who come here to socialize. In fact, in addition to the beach being beautiful, you get to barbecue at Daaibooi. At the back of the beach you have some large picnic tables with palapas. Here it is permitted to light the barbecue as well. Because of the trees, you also have plenty of shade here. Many locals come to Daaibooi on weekends with friends and family, so you need to get there early if you want to get a picnic table. It is beautiful to see how they bring all kinds of tables, chairs and the entire crockery from home, among other things. At least you can never say they are unprepared to go out. <\/p>\n\n

Palapas and palm trees <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

All along Daaibooi beach are palapas and palm trees for shade. You don’t have to pay to use these shade spots. At the snack bar on the beach there are sunbeds for rent. You may take these from the pile for 10 guilders per cot. If you turn them in at the end of the day, you get 5 guilders back per bed. What is unique about Daaibooi Beach is the tree in front of the snack bar where they have hung bird food. This is where super many birds come to visit all day, including the local yellow sugar thrushes and troepials. They fly up and down here all day, so you hear whistling and birdsong all day. <\/p>\n\n
