Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Playa Lagun
Playa Lagun is at the South end of Lagun. It's more of a family beach, but still with world-class diving only a few minutes out. Snorkelling: nice in the bay, with cliffs and rocks overgrown with coral and sponges.
Sometimes there are turtles swimming in the bay.
The drop-off start approx. 150-200 m from the beach, at a depth of 10 m. Slope 45 degrees outward, till a depth of 30 m, afterwards steeper.
Beautiful coral, growing in mushroom shapes, lots of sea-life.
South end of Lagun. Good parking facilities at the beach, from where you can enter the water. Swim out the bay to reach the drop-off (appr. 200 m).
Northwest of Willemstad, travel 12.3 km West on Weg Naar Westpunt from the Weg Naar Hato intersection to San Pedro. Turn left to head toward Soto. Travel 15 km to reach the intersection shown below in the village of Lagun.

A most enjoyable site. The beach sometimes is crowded on weekends but usually empty during the week. The diving and snorkel site is never crowded, and the good sea life variety is protected by the lagun. Reef has a 45 degree drop 100 meters out of the bay. Conditions are usually great. All types of coral. Sea life includes: spotted eagle rays, sting rays, turtles, barracuda, scorpion fish, octopus, morays, flying gurney, porcupine and blowfish, lobsters, crabs, squids and many more. Occasionally pods of bottlenose dolphins join the divers and snorkelers. I snorkeled here for 4 years and dived for 2. This is my favorite site on the island.
