Going to Curacao next week.Only for 4 days but we renting the car to drive around the island.Looking for recommendation.Places to see,good beaches, restaurant.Thank you!

Shete Boka is always great fun. Climb the Christoffel if you feel like losing a couple of kg in sweat. Jan Thiel for a (somewhat) busy and touristy public beach with lots of bars and pubs. Grote Knip and Klein Knip for more secluded beaches, but don't leave valuables in the car. In fact leave the windows rolled down and the doors unlocked. Porto Mari for a nice beach club. Flamingos on the salt lake on the way there. Kokomo Beach is another nice beach club. Day trip to Klein Curacao if you have the time. There's a dolphin encounter thing you can do downtown. Also don't forget the famous swing bridge, the colourful houses, and the old fort in the old city along the canal.

I recommend using the Waze app while you’re there. It has a lot of local recommendations & works perfectly for getting around.
The Ostrich Farm tour on the south end of the island was a good outing. As was the Hato Caves tour.
A wander through Punda also recommended. It’s faster to take the ferry across than the Queen Emma Bridge when there’s busy water traffic.
Christoffel National Park has some great hiking if you’re looking for that.
The Aquarium is nice but a small/short outing for the cost.
Highly recommend a drive to Playa Lagun if you’re looking for snorkelling with sea turtles.

We were there for a resort wedding and took a day to rent a car and managed to see the whole island, so you can definitely do the whole thing in four days! Buy/rent/borrow or steal yourself some snorkles and flippers, and head to Playa Piskado to swim with the sea turtles. The most incredible experience I’ve ever had!

Playa Piskado is my number one now! Thank you!

Yay! It was so incredible, I’m sure you’re going to love it! There were dozens of them (we went in Feb, but were told the turtles were always there) and you just wade right into the water.
Also if you’re looking for a fancy dinner, Fort Naseau was really incredible! And the Hato caves are also worth checking out.

Kerri I already packed my snorkelling equipment! Super excited!

For restaurants...Jaanchies, fishalicious, Kome. All the beaches are beautiful.

Beautiful island. We went ATVing with Eric's, and it was a blast. Not for the faint of heart, though, as the tour had us driving in mixed traffic. So much fun, and the tour guides were great! We took the catamaran to Klein Cruacao. Really great excursion, as well.

I grew up on “Korsow” and while much has changed in decades since then, the culture and tradition outside resort grounds is vibrant. On your way to beaches others have suggested, consider making short stops along “Weg naar Westpunt” at the hamlet of Sint Willibrordus, and at Jan Kok, the oldest former plantation on the island, for some history and art. Visit at least one local “snek” stand where pastechi (savoury turnovers) and loempia (similar to "Canadian Chinese" eggrolls) are staples, or a “truki pan” literally a bread truck food truck, if you prefer sandwiches. If you are there on Thursday night, the Punda Vibes tourist festival is worth an “overall flavour” visit.

And if your 4 CUR days fall around F-Su I would definitely suggest Hofi Cas Cora -- a true farm to table restaurant -- but only open for weekend brunch.
