Playa Marie Pampoen sits just east of Willemstad and feels like a true neighborhood beach — casual, social, and easy to access. Locals come for morning swims, family barbecues, and shore fishing along the breakwater. The water is calm and shallow, with a reef break farther out that keeps the bay protected. A walking path runs along the coast, connecting small food stands and shaded spots that make it a pleasant stop any time of day.
Snorkeling & Diving Note: Great for casual snorkeling near shore. The protected bay makes it suitable for beginners and families with kids.
