Latest reviews on Aruba's beaches

Baby beach
8 Rado Petrov.

The lagoon is stunning and provides a peaceful escape from the busy beaches and towering hotels. The water is crystal clear and shallow, but not ideal for swimming.

Eagle Beach
10 Sorenzo Anderson

This local beach is absolutely stunning. It features a generous amount of white sand and convenient, free parking. It's just a short stroll away from the beach, where you'll find complimentary huts available for use. The beach is calm and peaceful due to the absence of waves, making it a truly pleasant and enjoyable experience. Additionally, there are jet skis available for rent as well.

Manchebo beach
10 Evan Blaze

The beach is absolutely stunning and offers a vast expanse of clean sand with ample space for visitors to relax and soak up the sun. The sunsets from the beach are truly breathtaking and make for a truly unforgettable experience. Despite its size, the beach never feels overly crowded, allowing visitors to enjoy the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. While the sea may be slightly rougher than that of Eagle Beach, this only adds to the charm and allure of this beautiful location. Additionally, there are numerous fantastic beach bars and restaurants in the surrounding area, providing visitors with a variety of options for dining and entertainment.

Arashi Beach
10 Nicoleta Ionescu.

This beach was an absolute delight! Instead of parking in the busy paved lot, we opted for a dirt road just a little north of it, which was far less crowded. One of the things I appreciated most about Aruba was the abundance of public beaches with free thatched umbrella shelters. At this particular beach, you can wade out quite far without the water becoming too deep, which was perfect for lazy afternoons floating around. We stumbled upon this gem after a trip to the lighthouse and couldn't have been happier with our discovery.

Boca Catalina Beach
10 Tomas Martinez

This beach is an ideal spot for snorkeling enthusiasts, as the underwater world is simply excellent. Moreover, it is a peaceful and serene location, perfect for unwinding and soaking up the sun. Whether you want to simply relax or explore the marine life, this beach has something to offer everyone.

Divi beach
10 NIKOLAS KATSAROS
