Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Karakter beach (Curacao island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Karakter beach (Curacao island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Karakter beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

The beach at Coral Estate luxury resort is absolutely amazing, and the beach club and restaurants are just as fantastic. It's a great place to go snorkeling and the best part is, there's no entrance fee, you just need to order a drink.

The beach is stunning and well-maintained. There are lovely beachside restaurants and a diving shop nearby. It's a fantastic spot for snorkeling with breathtaking underwater scenery. The natural beauty of this place is truly awe-inspiring. I highly recommend paying a visit to this beach, it's a perfect 10/10.
