Aruba's wide white-sand shores
14 stretches of Aruba coastline, scored and sorted, from the calm turquoise flats of Eagle Beach and Palm Beach to the sheltered snorkeling coves near Malmok and the rugged, wave-battered north shore.
Andicuri Beach
A remote, photogenic bay on the wild windward coast, framed by rocky cliffs and crashing surf, popular for dramatic scenery and bodyboarding but unsafe for swimming.
Explore beach →Arashi Beach
A calm, white-sand cove near the island's northwestern tip, popular for easy snorkeling over a shallow reef and for sunsets beneath the nearby California Lighthouse.
Explore beach →Baby Beach
A shallow, near-enclosed lagoon at Aruba's southeastern tip, with bath-warm, knee-deep water that makes it the island's safest beach for small children and beginner snorkelers.
Explore beach →Boca Catalina
A tiny, sheltered snorkeling cove on the calm northwest coast, with clear shallow water full of reef fish and an easy entry that suits beginners and families alike.
Explore beach →Dos Playa
Two wild, dramatic sandy bays on the rugged windward coast inside Arikok National Park, framed by cliffs and pounding surf, stunning to see but not safe for swimming.
Explore beach →Druif Beach
A relaxed, family-friendly stretch of soft white sand and calm clear water at the southern end of the low-rise strip, quieter than its famous neighbours but just as pretty.
Explore beach →Eagle Beach
Aruba's most celebrated stretch of powder-white sand, famous for its wide-open space, gentle turquoise water and the two windswept divi-divi trees that have become the island's signature postcard.
Explore beach →Malmok Beach
A rocky-edged stretch on the calm northwest coast, prized as a snorkeling and windsurfing base and as the closest shore access to the Antilla shipwreck offshore.
Explore beach →Manchebo Beach
The widest, most tranquil stretch of Aruba's low-rise coast, a vast sweep of soft sand prized for its calm, low-key atmosphere and gentle, uncrowded swimming.
Explore beach →Mangel Halto
A hidden mangrove-fringed cove on the southeast coast, with a maze of shallow turquoise channels, a long reef and some of the best, most varied snorkeling on the island.
Explore beach →Palm Beach
Aruba's lively high-rise strip, a long ribbon of white sand lined with resorts, palapas, watersports and beach bars, where the action runs from morning swims to sunset cocktails.
Explore beach →Rodgers Beach
A calm, sheltered cove next to Baby Beach at the island's southern tip, with soft sand, clear water and easy snorkeling, far quieter than the famous beaches up north.
Explore beach →Surfside Beach
The most convenient beach right by Oranjestad and the airport, a calm, sandy stretch with a beach bar, easy swimming and quick access to the capital's shops and dining.
Explore beach →Tres Trapi
A small rocky cove named for its three steps down to the water, beloved as a snorkeling spot where sea turtles graze in clear, calm shallows on the northwest coast.
