Westpunt

Westpunt is a region indicating the westernmost point of the island of Curaçao, a country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the Caribbean.

A flag marks the most westerly point of the island off Cliff Villa Peninsula one kilometre north of the town of Sabana Westpunt.

[4] A village appeared around the church in the 1860s, named today as Sabana Westpunt, inhabited by newly freed slaves following the abolition of slavery in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Westpunt is famous for the two currents that meet in-front of Cliff Villa Peninsula stirring up the nutrients in the water making it the premium diving location on the island.

[11] In the northernmost point of Westpunt two kilometres in the north-eastern side of Watamula are the famous large seawater blow holes carved by the tide into the coral rock.
