Oostpunt (also Land van Maal) is a geozone (region) on the island of Curaçao. It is located on the easternmost point of the island. Since the 1870s, the area has been privately owned by the Maal family, and most of the area is off-limits, with the exception of the villages of Oostpunt, Sint Joris, and Santa Catharina. The geozone of Oostpunt covers about 10% of the island.
