This is a well-known spot on eastern Curaçao. It is a bay that is very popular with locals, among others. It is beautiful and peaceful there. Underwater visibility is also very good and there is a lot of underwater life to behold. The drive to Tugboat Beach is already a nice tour as you encounter Fort Beekenburg and see much of nature. You can also get to Tugboat by boat ride, and the Redsnapper Boat Trips provides these fun tours.
Tugboat literally means “Tugboat” and is one of Curaçao’s most famous and popular dive sites. Tugboat was sent to the bottom more than 30 years ago. Because the wreck has been on the bottom for so long, it has become part of the underwater fish and wildlife habitat. The wreck is about five meters underwater, making it the perfect snorkeling and diving spot. Because the water at Tugboat is very clear, you can get a good look at it when snorkeling.
Are you going to Curaçao soon and so you want a good spot for snorkeling? Then come to Tugboat Beach and snorkel to Tugboat!
