"Where every beach tells a story"

Curacao, an autonomous country inside the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Where the north coast is steep and rocky and the south coast is famous for its beautiful bays, beaches and shallow coves. Each beach creates its own special ambiance and they don't really need to compete with each other.
