Discover more about Boka Grandi

Boka Grandi, meaning "Big Bay" in Papiamento, is a captivating beach located on the Curaçao island. Unlike the typical Caribbean beach with powdery white sand, Boka Grandi is known for its rocky landscape and powerful waves. This untamed environment offers a different kind of beach experience, attracting visitors who appreciate nature in its rawest form. The beach is part of the island’s northern coast, characterized by limestone terraces. The shore break is strong, and swimming is generally prohibited due to the hazardous conditions. However, the dramatic scenery makes it a popular spot for photographers and those seeking solitude away from the more crowded tourist beaches. Boka Grandi is also near Christoffel National Park, making it a convenient stop for hikers and nature lovers exploring the park's trails. The Plantation and Boka Grandi Trail within the park offers a scenic route through diverse landscapes, including evergreen forests and natural salt pans, before reaching the beach.
