Aruba July 25th, 2013- We like Aruba for a lot of reasons, but one of them is the number of beautiful beaches on the Dutch Caribbean island. The island offers a wide variety of them; some are sandy hubs popular with tourists, while others are more remote. Here’s a list of six great beaches in Aruba. What’s your favourite beach in Aruba?
Druif Beach
Located near Eagle Beach (one of our top 10 walking beaches in the Caribbean for 2013), Druif is one of the more relaxed beaches on the island.
Palm Beach
The two-mile-long Palm Beach is Aruba’s main tourism boulevard, with a host of high-rise properties like the Riu and the Hyatt.
Malmok Beach
Malmok, located near the Tierra del Sol golf course and a residential area, is great for snorkeling.
Boca Grandi
Boca Grandi is popular for water sports, particularly kitesurfing and windsurfing.
Baby Beach
Baby Beach is centered around a lagoon, another terrific spot for snorkeling on the island.
Rodgers Beach
Set close to Baby Beach, the white-sand Roger’s Beach is another perfect spot for true Caribbean seclusion.
