When most people go to the beach, they simply like to sit down and admire the view, so it can certainly pay off to find a beach with some beautiful scenery to look at. On Curacao, Playa Forti arguably has the best views of all. It's surrounded by stunning landscapes, with the island's rocky western coastline stretching all the way out as far as the eye can see.

The sands here are nice and smooth, dotted with pretty pebbles and lined with lots of great snack bars and food vendors. The staff at the local restaurant are always cooking up some really delicious local recipes for everyone to enjoy, and there are some good hotels and resorts in the Playa Forti area as well. This is also one of Curacao's most historical beaches, being located near the site of an old English military fort.
