Aruba's Beaches

A quick guide to the beaches of Aruba.

Dos Playas

In spanish this means two beaches. This is a god beach for waves. It is also accesible by car, and yes that makes it a hit with surfers- and your level needs to be good to ride here. They do say don't go to Dos Playa to swim but if you are strong then take a look when you get there, or just enjoy the beach. You might be suprised the injuries you can get in the shallows with powerful waves. Situated in the East but North side.

Mangel Halto

A south side institution favoured by all for a relaxing easy place to take a dip, white sand and gorgeous Caribbean water.

Rodgers Beach

Great for swimming as it is another calm south side beach.

Baby Beach

Perhaps the best of the south beaches no facilities but some refreshments available. This is the spot to try out some snorkel, great calm turquoise waters and coral.

Arashi Beach

Jumping to the North West we have a 10 minute walk after the last public bus stop, good snorkelling and swimming. Some huts provide some shade is always advisable to bring your own shade and refreshments to any Aruba beach.

Malmok Beach

Perhaps more fish life to see than in Arashi give it a try for snorkelling.

Hadicurari

Popular with windsurfers this shallow water and is the place of the annual Hi-Winds Pro Am Windsurfing Competition. This is an excellent place to come and learn with the nearby schools such as http://www.arubasailboardvacations.com/ this is an excellent way to off gas and still get away from the heat.
