Playa Lagun is a small beach in a narrow bay on the west coast of Curaçao, near the village of Lagun, about 6 km in a straight line south of the village of Westpunt. Low rocky cliffs surround it, keeping it calm and sheltered from the waves. The bay is one of the island's best-known snorkelling spots, with coral starting a short distance from the sand, colourful fish swimming close in, and sea turtles often seen feeding near the cliffs. Small fishing boats moor at its edge. The beach has a snack bar, a restaurant and a dive school, with apartment buildings looking down from the cliffs. There is little sand and the place is small, but its clear, calm water makes the bay good for swimming, even for beginners. The beach is public and free. Go in the morning before it fills up, do not touch the turtles or the coral, and stay in the sheltered part of the bay, as the open sea beyond is rougher.
