Beyond its famous beach, the uninhabited island of Klein Curaçao holds a striking candy-pink lighthouse, a wild windward coast and a haunting graveyard of shipwrecks.
On the day trip, walk from the calm west beach to the abandoned lighthouse, you can sometimes climb it for sweeping views, and across to the rugged east side where the surf has wrecked boats over the years.
It is a stark, beautiful, slightly eerie contrast to the holiday beach. Bring sun protection: there is no shade anywhere on the island.
