One of Aruba’s most popular beaches.

Punta Bravo

Wooden Boats In Oranjestad
The word ‘Klip’ refers to the coral found in the area. This beach is located from Down Town Area to Surfside Beach.

Surfside Beach

Fisherman Boats
Shallow beach near the airport.

Renaissance Island

Renaissance Resort lacks a beach Down Town; therefore it created beach facilities for their visitors by purchasing a coral island, refurbished it and added facilities. Every couple of minutes there is a boat leaving Renaissance to the island and back. This is terrific alternative for all visitors to Aruba.

De Palm Island

De Palm Island
This island is named after tour operator De Palm Tours. It is one of the largest local tour operators in the Caribbean. This island is similar as Renaissance. It was also build on a coral island, but the major difference with Renaissance is the focus on families with children rather than couples. Swimming and snorkeling is good at De Palm Island.

Mangel Halto

Driving to San Nicolas (Aruba’s second biggest town) there is an urbanization called Pos Chikito. This area is home of Mangel Halto, a beach filled with sea life, therefore top notch snorkeling. Mangel Halto might be the island’s best snorkeling spot in Aruba.

Savaneta

Savaneta has long stretches of beach in different locations along the south part of Aruba. This fishing town is known for its water wonders. One can swim in super shallow water with mangroves, where nature comes to life.

Rodgers Beach

Rodgers Beach
Located in San Nicolas, Rodgers Beach is a very calm beach for people who want tranquility.

Baby Beach

Baby Beach
Very popular beach among visitors and locals alike. If you appreciate quietness, try to avoid the weekends and public (local) holidays.

Beach very popular with kite surfers. Warning: approach this beach with utmost restraint due to relentless waves and currents.

Wariruri

Another popular surfer’s beach on the north eastern coast. This beach is between the Gold Mill Ruins and Alto Vista Chapel. Warning: approach this beach with utmost restraint due to relentless waves and currents.

    Hi there Lisa, on the photograph underneath Surfside Beach, you see that there isn’t any kind of facility whatsoever. However, just a bit farther ahead there is Havana Beach Bar where there are some beach facilities and bar. People from Talk of the Town have access to the facilities there. I’m not sure what kind of arrangement TOTT has with the owners though.
