Wymond Posted September 30, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I am going to rent a car on the day we dock at Willemstad. I am wondering how convenient the parking is. Eg, Can I park at the road side when seeking flamingo? Is there a free parking lot at the dock? is park free close to the beaches? My plan is to visit east side in the morning, drive back to ship for lunch, then go to the west side, Shete Boka Park and a couple of beaches for snorkeling. is there any view points in the east? Any suggestions and advises are appreciated. Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptFantastic Posted October 2, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 2, 2019 It's been a couple of years but I seem to remember a gravel parking lot across from the port. No gates or a parking guy or anything. Other than in Willemstad, I don't remember any paid parking, snd the meters were pretty cheap. if you go to the caves or the distillery or something the parking lots are open....but sgsin, that was a couple of years ago . I found the driving itself to be quite easy, but I found the island kind of busier than others. I had a GPS as well which I recommend - there seemed to be lots of roads and few road signs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest going to Shete Boka first before the heat of the day, and beach hop on the West side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
