What to do in Curacao?

[SassyGirl]

Please help! I just booked a last minute cruise (leaving Wednesday) and one of the ports is Curacao. I haven't had time to do any research. This is my first time visiting the island.

 

What is the best beach?

 

Are there any "not-to-miss" excursions or places?

 

Any tips would be much appreciated!!!

We enoyed the snorkeling excursion to Caracas Bay. The ship's tour description will talk about a small sunken tugboat, if it doesn't mention the bay by name.

 

Our kids really enjoyed the Animal Encounters excursion where they donned scuba equipment (no experience necessary, you are in shallow water and have an instructor with you) and hand fed fish, turtles and sharks. You were protected from the turtles and sharks by a transparent wall that had small holes in it where you could push food through (but not your hands) for the turtles and sharks to eat.
