Mali Kurasao je potpuno usamljeno i nenaseljeno ostrvo u Karipskom moru.
Bez obzira na to što je slabo razvijeno, veoma je popularno među turistima koji uživaju u mirnom odmoru i istraživanju obale.
Jugoistočno od obale ostrva Kurasao, na udaljenosti od samo 24 km nalazi se Mali Kurasao, bajkovito mesto koje predstavlja pravi raj za ronioce.
Koralni sprudovi i podvodne pećine su simboli ovog ostrva, a kažu da ih ima preko 60 u ovom pojasu.
Mali Kursao je potpuno nerazvijen, bez infrastrukture koja bi privlačila masovno turiste, što znači da su aktivnosti poprilično ograničene. Možete uživati na prelepim peščanim plažama, u suncui posmatrati divlju prirodu.
Na Malom Kurasau se nalaze stari svetionik, nekoliko koliba i male kuće na plaži, koji predstavljaju jedini znak naseljenosti.
Svetionik koji je na ovom ostrvu sagrađen davne 1850. godine, čak dva puta je obnovljen zbog uragana koji su pogodili ovu oblast.

________________________ Klein Curaçao Lighthouse | Klein Curaçao | c. 1879 • Klein Curaçao (English: Little Curaçao) is a 1.7 square kilometres (170 ha; 0.66 sq mi) uninhabited island south-east of Curaçao in the Caribbean Sea, and is part of the Dutch country of Curaçao. Well known as a beautiful diving-spot because of its coral and underwater caves, the old pink lighthouse is one of the only structures still remaining on the island • Formerly, goats were allowed to roam the island, which contributed to desertification. In 1871, an English mining engineer visited the island, and until 1886 phosphate was mined and exported to Europe. The island was mined out, the level of the island dropped, and seabird populations plummeted – currently, reforestation is being undertaken by CARMABI Marine Research Station • The island played a part in the slave trade as the Dutch West India Company brought many slaves from Africa to Curaçao. Before coming ashore the main island, the sick were placed in quarantine at Klein Curaçao. The remains of this first quarantine building can still be found in the northwest of the island. Those who did not survive the voyage were buried on the island with many graves in the southern part of the island • Like its mother island of Curaçao, the island is little affected by hurricanes, but several storms have left their mark. The first was the hurricane of 1877 destroyed the lighthouse initially on the island • The 22 meter (66 foot) tall tower had to be rebuilt three times. Due to the many shipwrecks, putting the lighthouse back to work was more than necessary. Most recently, in 1982 a large oil tanker was stranded on the windward side of the island. In 2008, the light tower got a LED beacon with solar panels, still flashing every 15 seconds • ?: @jeffreyczum ✍: @wikipedia + @bluefinncharters • #AccidentallyWesAnderson #WesAnderson #VscoArchitecture #Vsco #AccidentalWesAnderson #Travelmore #Curaçao #Curacao #KleinCuraçao #DutchCaribbean

Međutim, mnogi ne znaju da ovo mesto sa sobom nosi mračnu prošlost.
Ostrvo je igralo značajnu ulogu u trgovini robovima u 17. i 18. veku, kada su se bolesni robovi smeštali u karantin. Zgrade u kojima su živeli se i danas mogu videti ovde.
Južni deo ostrva je prepoznatljiv po grobnicama – groblje za žrtve brodoloma kojih je ovde bilo dosta zbog velikih oluja.
Mali Kurasao nije toliko poznato ostrvo, ali ga pojedini turisti posećuju upravo zbog ronjenja i prelepe prirode.
