I took this photo from the southern tip of Aruba. The view reminded me of the paintings of J.M.W. Turner.
Fishing In Aruba
People ask me about fishing in Aruba. Truth be told, I don’t fish. I don’t like to eat fish. I know nothing about fishing. However, my friend Kent knows how to fish and here’s a photo of him during an outing in Aruba.
That’s Kent holding the fish. One happy guy on one happy island eh? Judging by Kent’s reaction, I would say the fishing can be good in Aruba. There are a number of boats to be hired by the day or half day. They can be found in the main harbour at Oranjestaad as well as at several marinas around the island. Again, I’m not an expert on fishing but Kent has a smile, which has to count for something.
Bon dia.
Baby Beach Improvements
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.

Mangel Halto Improvements
In a previous post, I noted the fine snorkeling that can be done at Mangel Halto in Aruba. Lately there have been some improvements begun. There were only a few palapas there for shade. It seems there will be new ones installed, this time with concrete bases. They’ve also been building stone walls along the edge of the bluff. Here are a few photos.

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.
Enjoy the ocean responsibly and don’t forget your safety gear.
Bon dia from Aruba.
