Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at JanthielBaai
The Southernmost, reasonable shore diving spot on Curacao is JanthielBaai. As a full service beach facility for families and divers, you'll find concessions, shade, showers, and even a dive shop on site. This is a great beach to spend the morning or afternoon.
This site is 2.1 km Southeast of the Sea Aquarium, but the direct road is no longer open. You'll need to wind your way East of Willemstad to the community of Janthiel, off Caracasbaai. There are no easy instructions for the drive; you must obtain a good road map, and note the distances to each turn since many of the streets have no street signs. Good luck-- It's worth the search!

We spent two weeks in Curacao, and this is by far one the best snorkeling locations. Don't be discouraged by the fact that this is a 'beach club' because it is worth the entrance fee. We snorkeled in approximately 10 locations in Curacao and this was the best experience. The entry fee includes use of a chair and facilities etc. Entry is very easy as it is a sandy bottom area. There is however a bit of a current sometimes. The reef is still healthy and interesting. There is a Dive shop on site, and we watched diving lessons both times we were there. The restaurant is also nice.
