It was our second time visiting Curacao and it's a beautiful sail in and out with the Dutch influenced buildings.
We grabbed a taxi to Porto Mari for some snorkeling and beach time. It was an easy beach entry over a sandy bottom with some coral rubble and about a five minute snorkel to the first reef. A mooring buoy has been placed in the center of the bay for boat dives and is a good reference point to begin.
We snorkeled straight out to the first reef and spent some time there before continuing on over a sandy bottom and found the second reef.
