Arashi Beach, Aruba, DWI

Arashi Beach can be found near the northwest end of the island. It’s a relatively small beach, but there’s plenty of sand to stretch out on. New palapa huts have been built along with a convenient parking lot, too. Take a look.

arashi2Now that is an inviting scene. Picture yourself stretched out there, or frolicking in the water, or chatting with a friend. Dare I mention reading a good book? I could name a few. Anyway, to get to Arashi Beach, you simply drive along the main road toward to the lighthouse until you come to the appropriately labeled wall that looks like this:

Bon dia.

Palm Beach, Aruba (video)

Palm Beach, Aruba, hosts a line of high-rise hotels. This beach is wide, clean, and inviting. The Caribbean is always warm. Depending upon the wind direction, the water is either as calm as a millpond or rolling to shore in small waves. Take a look at the video.

I took this video later in the afternoon when many people have left the beach. There are palapa huts along the beach, usually maintained by the hotels. These have to be occupied early, as many people stake them out all day. You’ll also find that some hotels offer drink service on the beach. Quite convenient. Along the way are two piers where you’ll find bars, water sports equipment rentals, and your fellow beach lovers enjoying themselves.

Be careful because the sun is strong in Aruba!

Bon dia from the island.

Eagle Beach, Aruba (video)

Eagle Beach is one of the largest and best beaches in Aruba, if not the entire Caribbean. As the number of hotels and condos has increased in Aruba, people talk about the beaches getting crowded. Sometimes they are crowded but many times, as you’ll see in this video, there is more than enough space. Take a look:

As you can see, there was hardly anyone on the beach. This video was taken on a Friday, about the middle of the morning. All you need to enjoy Eagle Beach is suntan lotion, a towel, and the right attitude. May I recommend a good book?

Bon dia from Aruba.

Driving to Baby Beach, Aruba

Here is a short video I made showing the drive to Baby Beach, Aruba. The video begins after San Nicolaas, at the anchor memorial. It then continues to a deserted Baby Beach. The best time to go is early in the morning when you can have the place to yourself, more or less. Take a view:

Ahhhhh, Aruba. Sun, sand, and surf! Enjoy.
