Beach and Pool Bars, Aruba

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.

Sunset Over Paradera

Many people who visit Aruba comment on the beautiful sunsets. There have been some truly spectacular ones the last couple of weeks. Here’s one my wife snapped a few evenings ago.

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.

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:

Colorado Point Panorama

Here is an assembly of photos to create a 360 degree panorama looking off Colorado Point at the south end of the island of Aruba, DWI. It doesn’t fit here to try this link:

The point can be bleak, but that’s the striking beauty of it. The colors of the rocks vary, as does the sea. It’s worth a stop at this point for a photo op if you find yourself on the island.

Bon dia.
