Grote Knip (also called Playa Abou in Papiamento, translation: "Beach in a valley") is a beach on the Caribbean island of Curaçao, located at the western side of the island, between the villages of Westpunt and Lagun.{{cite web|title=Grote Knip Playa Kenepa Grandi|url=http://www.vakantie-curacao.nl/ontdek/stranden/Grote-Knip-Playa-Kenepa-Grandi.html|website=Vakantie Curacao.nl|publisher=Vakantie|language=nl}} The beach gives way to a small lagune between high rocks. It is freely accessible to the public. The beach is used as a starting point for snorkeling, due to the presence of a coral reef nearby.
