The day opens with a cool wind off the Caribbean and a minivan rolling west along Curaçao’s limestone spine. Palm shadows slip across the road while the sea keeps time to the hum of tires. On arrival at Playa Piskado you step into clear shallows where hawksbill and green turtles glide with the current, unbothered, as if daring you to follow.
