About Boca Catalina
A small sandy cove where catamaran trips stop to snorkel. Lots of fish close to shore when the water is flat. Little sand, so come early if you want a spot.
Good for: snorkelling and swimming. Facing: west; the beach faces away from the usual trade wind. From Oranjestad: about 22 minutes by car.
Facilities: Almost none: bring water and shade.
