Travel Guide

Playa Kenepa are among the most stunning natural beaches on Curacao. Consisting of two beaches, Kenepa Grandi (bigger beach) and Kenepa Chiki (the smaller more intimate beach) it is the perfect location for snorkeling and scuba diving. The turquoise water is crystal clear and you can see the breathtaking views of underwater caves and gorgeous coral reef. It’s rarely heavily populated so it’s like having your own private beach and personal slice of heaven.
