Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Playa Lagun
Playa Lagun is at the South end of Lagun. It's more of a family beach, but still with world-class diving only a few minutes out. Snorkelling: nice in the bay, with cliffs and rocks overgrown with coral and sponges.
Sometimes there are turtles swimming in the bay.
The drop-off start approx. 150-200 m from the beach, at a depth of 10 m. Slope 45 degrees outward, till a depth of 30 m, afterwards steeper.
Beautiful coral, growing in mushroom shapes, lots of sea-life.
South end of Lagun. Good parking facilities at the beach, from where you can enter the water. Swim out the bay to reach the drop-off (appr. 200 m).
Northwest of Willemstad, travel 12.3 km West on Weg Naar Westpunt from the Weg Naar Hato intersection to San Pedro. Turn left to head toward Soto. Travel 15 km to reach the intersection shown below in the village of Lagun.

Easy parking and short walk to the water. All the facilities including bathrooms and fresh water showers were closed when we were there. There is a small boat on the bottom in about 15 feet of water on the east side of the cove. It’s a long swim to the reef, but take your time and relax. Make sure you know where you are before you submerge to the reef. The cove is small and could be missed if you do not watch your time and the current. Lots of shade. The dive shop next door was open and teching a class.
