Moomba’s New Roof, Aruba

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!

Moomba Beach Bar, Aruba

Moomba Beach Bar is located along Aruba’s famous Palm Beach. It’s on the northwest end, past the Holiday Inn.

It’s a giant, open-air palapa hut set on boards just above the sand. You have a great view out over the beach at the boats floating in the clear Caribbean sea. The drinks are cold, the staff friendly, and there are plenty of revelers to join in the fun. They got creative with one of their lights as you can see here:

That’s an interesting use of empty beer bottles. As far as I know, if you ring the bell, you bought a round for everyone at the bar, so be careful with that.

Either way, it’s a pleasant retreat from the sun and sand for a bit of refreshment and conversation. Better yet, you can walk to many of the hotels in just a few minutes. As always, enjoy your imbibing responsibly.

Bon dia.
