July 11, 2007 - Kleine Knip Beach

 

On our Caribbean cruise in 2007, one of our stops was Curacao. Never having been there before, we decided to rent a car on our own and explore the island, with the hopes of finding a beach that wouldn't be stuffed full of tourists. Boy, did we ever succeed! This is a picture of Kleine Knip Beach, which was completely secluded when we were there. It was a jewel of a beach, with crystal clear water, white powdery sand, and soft Caribbean breezes. Definitely a little slice of heaven! We stayed for a little while and then continued driving around the island. We found some more lovely beaches (none as empty as this one, though), and saw much of the island, including areas that we're pretty sure tourists don't usually explore much. It was a wonderfully memorable day!
