Eastpoint (Oostpunt)
Boat-only reef at Curaçao's eastern tip inside the Curaçao Marine Park, described by Dive Curaçao as one of the most untouched fringing reefs left in the Caribbean: sheer coral- and sponge-covered walls into deep blue water and shallow plateaus with elkhorn, staghorn and pillar coral. Tarpon arches are noted in the area.
