Morning light catches the low, weathered rocks as the open-air beach bus rumbles away from Oranjestad, wind pushing a fine spray of salt across your face. Travelers watch palms tilt like metronomes, and the driver points toward a cluster of boulders that dare you to climb them—Casibari’s rounded granite rising from scrubland.
