Booking.com

Boca Prins (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 Boca Prins 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

"Sandy beach which adds to its beauty. The texture of the sand is so fine that it feels like walking on clouds. The unique feature of this beach is that the sand is golden in color which makes it stand out from other beaches. It's a great place to relax and soak up the sun while enjoying the breathtaking view of the ocean. The red earth feels like being on Mars."

Loyce "Loyce On The Rocks" McLeod

"The beach offers of a soft, powdery sand that is perfect for unwinding and soaking up the sun. The sand is a pristine white color that adds to the serene ambiance of the surroundings. It's an ideal spot for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and indulge in some much-needed relaxation."
