Moomba Beach Bar suffered a catastrophic failure of their giant palapa hut. The roof came crashing down. According to newspaper reports, no one was seriously injured. They’re back in business now. This time they have a tubular frame with fabric overhead. Take a look:
The breeze has settled a bit lately. No doubt more is on the way because Aruba is the windy island. Every day is a bad hair day. At the same time, the sun shines, the water is warm, and it’s hard to find nicer beaches, most of which have bars like this only a few steps away.
Bon dia!
This place is different from your average rum shop in that it doesn’t have a busy trade. It’s mostly just a few guys talking early in the morning or late in the afternoon. The selection of beverages is small, too, a few different soft drinks, a few types of beer. Pastechi are on sale in the morning, but I’m not a fan of those. Either way, when I pass by on my bike around 7am it’s a relief to pop in for a cold bottle of water or juice. Thus, if you’re cruising about the island and want to meet some local people, don’t hesitate to give a place like this a try.
