Only accessible by car. From Willemstad go to Santa Rosa and from there in the direction of Santa Catharina. Turn right to Ostrich farm and ride down till the road stops, it's 500m past the Ostrich farm (great tours and tasty Ostrich steaks!) last part is dirt road. Drive to left side of the bay to launch and ride.
Extremely sensitive natural area. Do not litter and disturb. It is wise not to go there alone, it's pretty remote. Shoes might be useful too!
Willemstad has pretty good nightlife. Mambo beach is pretty good as well. Friday night fish night at Mambo can be recommended. Sunday late afternoon happy hour at Wet & Wild is a must go! And also at Friday you can get free spareribs at Wet'n Wild (next to Mambo).
