Description:

This is another excellent beach for the whole family. Parking is free. Facilities are limited to a few shaded areas, so don't forget your water and snacks. You can gear up in the parking lot and take the steps down to the wide sandy beach below. It somewhat damaged by Hurricane Lenny. During the week the beach is quiet, but on weekends it can get quite crowded. The kick-out for the diver is a little far, but take your time. The drop-off is directly out from the bay, a good ten minute swim. The drop-off starts in 10 meter of water and falls below 30 meter. Along the wall lots of coral can be found. Directions: To get here by car, head towards Westpunt past the town of Lagun. Take a left at Landhuis Knip, then follow the shore road past Kleine Knip to the parking lot at Grote Knip.
