This is a popular spot to bring people to swim with turtles. There is a small dock and the turtles seem to hang around there since they are getting fed by the locals on the dock. The water here is amazing and we actually enjoyed the snorkeling about 100 yards off the shore from the beach. Water was amazing and I we had 2 turtles with us out 10 yards when there were swarms of people all around the one turtle at the dock. This is a great beginner spot to snorkel because its very protected from wind and currents and we swam all over without even using fins. We rented 2 chairs with an umbrella for 12 dollars for the day. Well worth it. There is food and drinks at a couple small local spots right there at the beach. Only real negative is when Cruise Ships are at the island, bus loads of people come here and it can get real crowded after noon. We enjoy the small quiet non tourists locations so we only spent about an hour here and we moved along our way. I've seen enough turtles in my time so we decided to leave the crowds. The beach has all you need for a good day. Amazing water and views. Good spot for sure.

Monday 18th April and we visited Sabana Westpunt and surrounding area on the north west corner of Curaçao, where this beach is located. We did not actually walk down to the beach, bit of a trek, we looked down on it from the road above. There were no facilities on the beach, no sunbeds or umbrellas the only shade was provided by the trees dotted along the beach. A number of large rocks also provided some shade. There are no shops or restaurants nearby, so visitors to the beach have to bring everything they need with them. Looking down on the beach it was a postcard view of the golden sand and the crystal clear water which were a deep shade of blue. Would recommend wearing rubber soled shoes when getting into the sea as the entrance to the water is somewhat rocky. A small jetty pokes out in to the sea, a rather popular spot for snorkeling and jumping/diving off. There were a number of small boats, mostly fishing boats, anchored up near This is free beach, there is no entrance fee unlike a lot of other beaches on the island.

In all my years, I had never swam with turtles before. The local fishermen feed the turtles every so often so that tourists may see them up close. You are constantly reminded not to touch them (germs and what not) and truly the experience to see nature so close has to be worth the trip. For $7 you can sit in a chair and relax under an umbrella, or you could bring your snorkeling gear and get a glimpse of the coral to the west side of the beach. If you're looking for a white sand beach with no one around make no mistake, this spot is NOT for you.
