1 guide, each rated 1 to 5 with the reason — and two lists per place, where you are comfortable and where to pay attention. Nowhere is called dangerous; the specific thing is what helps.
Generally safe and quiet. Willemstad has areas best avoided after dark just north of the centre, and cars left with anything visible are opened on beach car parks. The north coast has powerful swell and no swimming.
Comfortable: Pietermaai · Punda · Jan Thiel · Willibrordus
Otrobanda — the back streets after dark
Currents at Playa Kenepa and the north coast, which is open Atlantic
Leaving anything in a hire car at a beach car park
