Tugboat Bay Beach
Tugboat Beach is one of Curaçao’s most iconic snorkeling and diving spots, named after the small sunken tugboat resting just offshore. Covered in coral and surrounded by tropical fish, it’s a favorite among underwater photographers and casual snorkelers alike.
On shore, the vibe is rustic and creative — driftwood furniture, murals, and handmade touches make it feel like a laid-back beach bar without walls. There’s always a sense of community here, where locals and travelers share stories between swims.
Snorkeling & Diving Note: The wreck sits in about 5 meters of water, making it perfect for beginners. Excellent visibility and nearby reef diving make it a must-visit for underwater lovers.
