The Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao has long been home to some of the Caribbean’s coolest beach bars, from far-off spots like Kokomo to full-fledged beach destinations like Mambo.

But now the island has another hot new beach bar.

It’s called City Beach 88, and it just opened its doors in the Pietermaai District.

City Beach 88 offers free entrance and beach beds, with daily beer bucket and wine specials and a weekly happy hour on Thursdays.

There’s also a selection of finger foods and panini .

It all adds up to a new urban beach destination in Curaçao.
