Lounge on powder-soft sand and swim in warm turquoise waters at Baby Beach, a secluded horseshoe-shaped bay that's great for families with young kids. Coral formations dot the bay's edge, perfect for snorkeling. Beach huts and loungers are available for rent, and food and drinks can be purchased at the bar.
Explore the diverse landscapes of Arikok National Park on a guided hike or driving tour. The park covers almost 20% of the island and is home to indigenous flora and fauna, including the rare Aruban rattlesnake. The park is also home to historical sites such as ancient Indian drawings and a restored 19th-century gold mine.
Wind down your vacation at Eagle Beach, a postcard-perfect stretch of white sand and turquoise sea. The beach is frequented by snorkelers, parasailers, and sunbathers alike. During sunset, the beach transforms into a romantic destination, with a view of the orange and red hues across the horizon. Relax, take a stroll, and enjoy the sound of the waves.
If you have more time, consider visiting the California Lighthouse, which has a beautiful panoramic view of the northern peninsula of Aruba, or the Bubali Bird Sanctuary. For those with less time, skip the guided tour at Arikok National Park and explore on your own. Don't forget to bring sunscreen, beach towels, and cash, as some beaches may not take credit cards.
