Aruba’s Baby Beach is a popular place for visitors and locals alike. The calm, sheltered water makes for easy swimming. The powder soft sand is comfortable, too. Lately, there have been a number of improvements to the area including a new wall separating the parking area from the beach, new palapa huts with permanent bases, and another snack shack. Here are some photos:
Doesn’t that water look nice? Really, it is that blue.
You can hang out in the shade when you’re not in the water. You and ten of your friends. Or go get a snack at the following place:
And finally, here is a shot of the masonry wall just for eye candy.
Enjoy your day at Baby Beach. Don’t forget the sunscreen, big hat, and plenty of water. On your way to your accommodations, why not stop by Charlie’s Bar for a beverage and plenty of fun? Sure, it’s the right thing to do.
Bon dia from Aruba.

And finally…
The water is that blue, that clear. An acquaintance of mine, (Kent, master snorkeler, fisherman extraordinaire) checks the sea life here on a regular basis. He tells me there are plenty of creatures to view. I’ve seen the photos that prove it.
My mother had the chicken lemongrass as seen below.
And I had the lobster/shrimp eggrolls with sweet/spicy dip.
Entrees were very inventive as you will soon see. My mother and father both ordered the Marco Polo, which is a small lobster tail, shrimp, and small filet over pasta in a delicious sauce. Here’s a photo of the dish.
My wife choose the Japanese Sea Bass with asparagus, also excellent and here is a photo.
Finally, I choose the Hunan Beef, which was very good and seen below.
Every dish is presented as a work of art and the waiters take pride in their service. The prices are at the upper limit of my budget, but I felt that all things considered the meal was a good value. When next in Aruba, give Japengo a try. You’ll love it.
As the name implies, they have “authentic New York bagels,” which after being on the island for a while you probably have to have. I stop in here from time to time and have not been disappointed.
As you can see there is plenty of seating if you want to enjoy your bagel in the sunshine. While we all want to try local cuisine or something different, sometimes its the old favorites that must be satisfied. Give this place a try. It might do the trick.
