Boca Grandi (Aruba) is located outside the Lago Heights 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 Grandi 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

"The beach is absolutely stunning, but the wind and waves can be quite strong, so I wouldn't recommend swimming for everyone. The sea has left quite a bit of debris on the shore, but it's a perfect spot for kitesurfing. Luckily, parking is conveniently close to the beach, making it easy to get in the water quickly."

Nathan Delaney

"This stunning beach boasts a kitesurfing academy, although we refrained from swimming due to the choppy waters. En route, we made a pit stop here with our trusty 4x4 Jeep, as the dirt and sand roads leading to this locale can be quite uneven. It's the perfect spot to take a breather and marvel at the kite surfers in action."

What to do in Boca Grandi? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the Boca Grandi can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Boca Grandi welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.
