With its handsome beaches and string of hotels that front them, it’s no surprise there are a number of bars for the visitor to enjoy in Aruba. You’ll find all kinds of themes. Here’s a little video that shows some of them that can be found along Palm Beach, near the high-rise hotels.
There are more beaches and more bars. If you want to make a journey of your drinking here, it will be a long one.
Bon dia.
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.
Now 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:
And you have arrived at a little slice of paradise. Enjoy it responsibly and always use sunscreen!

Druif Beach is a swath of sand located near the Tamarijn Resort in Aruba. It’s not the largest beach on the island, but it certainly is quite nice. Here’s a photo, looking north west.
There’s plenty of room there to stretch out and soak up the sun. This season there were few crowds here. It was slightly crowded a few Sunday afternoons, but nothing to complain about. Of course the adjacent Caribbean is balmy and inviting, one more reason Aruba is such a popular vacation destination.

Seashell hunters will be disappointed if they come to Aruba in search of augmenting their collection. The geography of the island and surrounding waters does not provide much in the way of dramatic shells. The photo below shows the paltry pickings of a recent walk along Druiff Beach. This was after a passing storm churned up the bottom. Otherwise there would have been even less.
The pen is there to show scale. Not an exciting bunch. Still, the walk along the beach, especially in the morning is refreshing. Aruba’s beaches are among the finest in the world. So, forget about the shells and pull up a chair, or go for a walk, or just lie on the sand. You won’t be disappointed.
Bon dia from Aruba.
