The Marine Park is centred on a spectacular coral reef, maintained and protected throughout the year by marine experts. The salt flats change colour according to fluctuations in the resident algae population and the beautiful lagoon of Goto Meer is a haven for flocks of flamingoes. In the capital, Kralendijk, among the sites worth visiting are the lively and interesting fruit and vegetable market and Fort Oranje on the waterfront. Restaurants serve Creole cooking, particularly seafood dishes, including pickled conch shell meat, grilled spicy fish and lobster. Nightlife centres mainly on the hotels and restaurants.
Entertainment includes dancing or listening to reggae or calypso bands.
