This beach is on the far end of the island - takes about 40 minutes. It is a good experience for day, in our opinion. It is one of Aruba's most popular beaches as it borders a tranquil lagoon, making it great for families with small children. There are huts but if they are taken you can rent chairs and umbrellas and there is a restaurant.

This beach is at the end of the street and you can walk there. It is a stretch of limestone terraces that make up the landscape of this area that boasts excellent waters for snorkeling, with many of the island's catamarans and sailboards anchoring nearby for easy access for passengers to plunge in for an up-close view of vibrant and colourful sea life.
