About Marichi Pier / Punda Beach
Marichi Pier / Punda Beach is a small public city beach in Willemstad with a pier, sheltered water, and an easy walk-in feel. It is a relaxed place to swim or snorkel, with lagoon-like calm inside the pier and plenty of local use. Fishing lines and shared pier space are the main things to watch for, so it suits casual water time more than a full-service dive day.
