To get to Baby Beach you will need to travel across the island as this bay is located on the southeast end of Aruba near San Nicolas. Baby Beach is also accessible by bus as the last stop on line 900 departing from the San Nicolas Bus station. The water in this picturesque bay is warm, shallow and is sheltered from the rough seas by a man-made break-water. This beach is popular for sunbathing and snorkeling and the perfect hang-out for families as the water level is generally between knee and waist deep. Snorkeling at this location is great for children and travelers new to snorkeling as the water is calm and very clear.

Bachelor's Beach, also known by locals as Boca Tabla, is located in the south east of the island, next to Boca Grandi. Due to the location of this relatively small beach, the constant north-east trade winds makes it great place to learn how to windsurf. The wind and waves are calmer then at several other beaches and the shoreline has plenty of room to try out all your new moves. Bachelor's Beach offers also spectacular snorkeling and diving options, but it is recommended to dive with an instructor. Because of the strong winds, Bachelor's Beach is only accessible when winds are from the West.

The lighthouse was built between 1914 and 1916 according to a French design. It was named after the steamship California which was wrecked nearby in 1891. Standing more than 90 feet high, the lighthouse is an impressive landmark in the barren almost lunar-like landscape surrounding it. Its location allows commanding views of the north coast, the sand dunes area, and also towards the high-rise hotel area. The lighthouse building itself is not open to the public
