Beaches
Curacao has some thirty public and private beaches, ranging from intimate rocky coves to long strands bustling with activity. Almost all of the swimming beaches are scattered along the sheltered southwestern coast, where the waters are generally calm and crystal clear. The northern coast, with its powerful surf and strong undertow, is not suitable for swimming. Topless bathing is officially prohibited on all public beaches and some private ones, although tacitly accepted in some places.

Curacao's waters are teeming with underwater life: multi-colored parrot fish, silvery barracuda, spotted French angelfish and colorful butterfly-fish are just some of the varieties you're apt to see. Colonies of coral and sea anemones inhabit the waters just off the shore.

If you've never snorkeled or dived, now may be good time to learn. At the very least put on a mask to get a glimpse of the wonders just below the surface. It is recommended that you snorkel with a buddy.

Dining
Restaurant Seasons is open daily from 8.00 am for breakfast, from 12.00 am for lunch and 06.00 pm for dinner. For fine dining (one of the best on the island) and a superb menu, next to special theme-nights like Seafood and Japanese/Thai, and the 'catch of the day'. Special wishes or demands like vegetarian or salt-free meals can be deliciously prepared by our Chef Maikel de Leur. Restaurant Seasons is situated in the middle of Papagayo Beach Resort, within a beautiful garden and with a romantic pool view. During the day several drinks and snack can be served at the pool.

Curacao has a large selection of international restaurants, with a wide variety of cuisine. A note on dress: beachwear is not appropriate except for beach bars and takeout, shorts and sandals for men are not accepted at some places.

Expect locals to dress very fashionably. Many restaurants are air-conditioned; you may want to bring a light jacket or coverup. Most restaurants add a 10% service charge beside the government 5% sales tax. You may leave an additional tip if you are pleased with the service.
