Playa Kalki

\

Playa Kalki is a small and sandy cove set against a backdrop of limestone cliffs in the peaceful area of Westpunt on the Caribbean island of Curacao. Playa Kalki is also very picturesque, as the little inlet is framed by dramatic limestone cliffs (kalki is the Papiamentu word for limestone).

One of the major reasons that the diving from Playa Kalki is so excellent is that the waters 

along this stretch are protected by an almost unbroken coral reef.

A variety of colorful tropical reef fish are abundant. There are also green moray eels, forests of coral fans, massive mushroom coral, lobsters, and much more.
