Fort Beekenburg, a historic 18th-century fortification guarding the entrance to Spanish Water in Curaçao, is freely accessible and can be visited year-round, ideally during cooler morning or late afternoon hours. While many explore it independently by car, boat tours often incorporate it into their itineraries, providing guided historical context, with no direct entrance fee for the fort itself. A typical visit to the fort lasts 30 minutes to an hour, offering panoramic views perfect for photography and history enthusiasts, though the immediate surroundings may involve uneven paths. No major seasonal restrictions apply, but it's advisable to carry water and wear appropriate footwear.
