Caracasbaai area

Caracasbaai (or Caracasbay) is a thin strip of land located between the spanish water and the Caribbean Sea. You can reach this strip by driving down the Carasbaaiweg all the way to the roundabout and than turning left.

Although it is less developed than Jan Thiel there are many businesses here and it gives you the more unspoiled feeling. On the right side of the Carasbaai strip locals usually enjoy their sunny afternoon.

Besides some restaurants – like Pirates Nest and The Pier – this is also the area where ships depart for trips to Klein Curacao and Spanish Water Tours. Mermaid Boattrips is one of the most noticable boating companies having a dock here. But also Red Snapper Boat Trips departs here for their Spanish Water or Snorkel Tour.
