Playa Kalki sits at the far north-west tip near Westpunt, above one of Curaçao's signature reefs, the gently sloping coral garden known as Alice in Wonderland.
It is about an hour and ten minutes from Willemstad.
A stairway and a small dive resort sit above a modest beach; the real draw is the water
Snorkellers find healthy coral close in, and divers descend to the mushroom-shaped coral heads of Alice in Wonderland just offshore. The remote location keeps crowds light.
