St Jorisbaai

Sint Jorisbaai is one of Curaçao's hidden natural treasures — a quiet and wide-open bay where nature, wind, and sea come together, far away from the crowds.

As we paddle through the bay, there's a good chance we'll spot sea turtles popping up their heads beside the kayaks. In the middle of the bay lies a small island where seabirds gather to rest and sleep at the end of the day, creating a peaceful and almost untouched atmosphere.

We follow the mangroves along the shoreline and visit remote empty beaches where we can stretch our legs, cool off with a refreshing swim, or simply enjoy the silence and scenery around us. When weather and sea conditions allow, we paddle toward the mondi — the outlet to the open sea — where the rugged north coast of Curaçao reveals itself in all its raw beauty. Along the way, we can often watch kite surfers performing impressive aerial acrobatics above the bay, powered by Curaçao's famous trade winds.
