Location: Curacao
The island of Curacao is one of the Dutch Antilles and situated in front of Venezuela. Outside the hurricane belt, so no worries for cyclones. There is year round sunny weather, only some rain from November to February (showers only, mainly afternoon or night). The island is only 50 km from east to west, but has a lot to offer: national park, beautiful, cozy and sandy beaches all along the south coast with superb diving (mainly shore diving, no need for a boat!) and snorkeling. The beaches are quiet, even in high season. Willemstad is a beautiful town (Unesco World Heritage Site) with mix of Dutch architecture and Caribbean colours. Some 'Amsterdam' and a lot of Caribbean! Home is situated on the east side of Willemstad, in the neighbourhood of Girouette, a small 'cul de sac' with only luxury homes (no through-traffic). It is close to many famous beaches, the Sea Aquarium and downtown Willemstad with its beautiful houses, restaurants and other attractions.
