Dos Playa (Aruba) is located outside the San Fuego settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Aruba island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Dos Playa with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"Although the view is idyllic, I wouldn't classify this location as a traditional beach. The sea on this part of the island is quite tempestuous, with towering waves and strong currents. It's a great spot for taking stunning photographs, but I wouldn't recommend swimming or wading in the water."

Cityscape Florist

"Numerous coves adorn this particular stretch of the island, each one more stunning than the last. However, the ocean here is quite lively and harbors treacherous undertows. Despite this, reaching the beach by car is possible, albeit the road leading up to it is quite rough and bumpy."
