About Shete Boka National Park
Located on the north coast of Curaçao, Shete Boka National Park spans more than 10 kilometers of rugged coastline. This area is known for its pristine natural beauty, characterized by dramatic rock formations, roaring sea caves, and crashing waves that have carved out several remarkable inlets, known as 'bokas'. These inlets are important nesting sites for three species of sea turtles. Established in 1994, the park was created to protect these delicate ecosystems and provide a safe haven for the turtles. Visitors can explore a network of trails and viewpoints that offer breathtaking vistas of the Caribbean Sea against the rugged limestone cliffs. Popular activities include hiking to various bokas such as Boka Tabla and Boka Pistol, known for its blowholes and intense waves. The park's rich marine life and diverse avifauna make it a unique spot for wildlife enthusiasts.
