Shete Boka National Park - Curacao - National Parks of the World on Waymarking.com

Shete Boka (English: "Seven Mouths" or "Seven Inlets") National Park is located on the rugged Northern coast of the island of Curacao. Founded in 1994, the 200 hectares (500 acres) nature park includes spectacular views of a rocky wind-blown and wave-exposed sea coast as well as 10 pocket beaches where 3 species of sea turtles are known to lay their eggs.


Three of the park's most famous stopping points are Boka Tabla, Boka Wandomi's Natural Bridge, and Boka Pistol.


Boka Tabla: (N 12 22.137 W 069 06.956)

Located closest to the parking area, the cove of Boka Tabla includes large, unpredictable waves that crash onto the shoreline and create spectacular water scenes. There is also a small cave where you can experience the rumbling and growling of incoming water rushing violently and directly towards you.


Boka Wandomi and Natural Brigde: (N 12 22.346 W 069 07.367)

Just North of Boka Tabla is Boka Wandomi, a cove that boasts a Natural Bridge that has been carved out of the rocks by incoming waves.


Boka Pistol: (N 12 21.917 W 069 06.510)

This cove boasts a geyser-like spray created by waves through a strong narrowing of the rock formation, thus ensuring great photo opportunities.

Visit Instructions:

A log will require a recent photograph at the coordinates. Some of these locations will be placed for the scenery, so a gpsr will just ruin the picture.

If you don't have a digital camera post a descriptive log.
