What are the most beautiful beaches in Aruba?

Aruba is blessed with powdery white sand beaches. The stunning shores of this tropical island easily rival the most beautiful beaches in the world. We've gathered the very best beaches in Aruba for you.

Top 10 best beaches of Aruba:

1. Manchebo Beach
   Manchebo Beach is, in our opinion, the most beautiful sandy beach in Aruba. It's incredibly wide, powdery white, and wonderfully peaceful. The beach is perfectly located between Druif Beach and Eagle Beach. Both Druif Beach and Eagle Beach are also among the most beautiful beaches on this tropical island. These three top beaches are within walking distance of each other. Manchebo Beach may not be very long, but it is the widest beach in Aruba. It's almost impossible to describe how stunning it is—you really have to see it with your own eyes.
   
   Hotels at Manchebo Beach:
   - Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa
   - Bucuti & Tara Boutique Beach Resort - Adult Only
   
   Manchebo Beach is the most beautiful beach of Aruba.
   
   
2. Eagle Beach
   Eagle Beach was named the most beautiful beach in the Caribbean in 2023 — and for good reason. The powdery white sand stretches for miles and is truly breathtaking. You'll find several fofoti trees on the beach, offering welcome shade. There are also a number of beach bars, and water sports enthusiasts will find plenty to do here. We personally love taking long walks along Eagle Beach and jumping into the ocean now and then to cool off. The calm, clear waters at this stunning sandy beach are perfect for swimming.
   
   Hotels at Eagle Beach:
   - Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort
   - Hotel MVC Eagle Beach
   - Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino
   
   Eagle Beach is ranked by Tripadvisor as the most beautiful beach in the Caribbean.
   
   
3. Baby Beach
   Baby Beach is one of the best beaches in Aruba, especially for families with young children. Located at the southern tip of the island, this beautiful white-sand beach offers calm, shallow waters with barely any current. You can walk far out into the crystal-clear sea, making it ideal for swimming and wading. What makes Baby Beach truly unique is its peaceful atmosphere and excellent snorkeling. We spotted plenty of colorful fish — some so friendly they swam right up to us. If you're looking for a safe, scenic, and family-friendly beach in Aruba, Baby Beach definitely belongs in the top 10.

4. Druif Beach
   Druif Beach was the first beach we ever saw on Aruba. We were so impressed by this sandy shoreline, we had no idea beaches could be this beautiful. The dazzling beach easily rivals the most stunning spots on the island. Perched on the wooden posts in the sea, pelicans can often be seen resting. Every now and then they spring into action, diving with incredible speed to catch fish right out of the water. It's such a beautiful sight to witness.

5. Palm Beach
   Palm Beach is the most popular and touristy beach on the island. The beach is bright white, wide, and stretches no less than three kilometers. There’s plenty of fun to be had on this fantastic stretch of sand. If you enjoy a lively atmosphere, great food and drinks at trendy beach bars, this is the best beach to visit. For enthusiastic water sports lovers, Palm Beach is also a real hotspot. Did you know that the largest and most numerous hotels on the island are located here? That’s no coincidence, of course.
   
   Hotels at Palm Beach:
   - Riu Palace Aruba
   - Courtyard by Marriott Aruba Resort
   - The Mill Resort and Suites

6. Arashi Beach
   Arashi Beach is a beautiful sandy beach on Aruba, located near the lighthouse in the northern part of the island. The beach is much smaller than, for example, Palm Beach or Eagle Beach, and that’s exactly what makes it more enjoyable for us. We love coming here for a swim or a bit of snorkeling. The underwater world is truly stunning, and if you go snorkeling, you’re guaranteed to see colorful fish. How fun is that?
   
   At Arashi Beach you can swim and snorkel very well.
   
   
7. Boca Catalina
   Boca Catalina is the perfect beach for snorkeling. We're truly fans of this beach because the underwater world is absolutely stunning. You'll find beautiful, colorful coral and plenty of tropical fish. For us, this is the best snorkeling spot on the island. It's a small and quiet sandy beach, ideal if you're looking for peace and want to enjoy the breathtaking surroundings. Pelicans often rest along the edge of Boca Catalina. These remarkable birds clearly know that there are plenty of fish in the sea here. Pelicans really are such beautiful creatures.

8. Bushiri Beach
   Bushiri Beach is a powdery white sand beach located close to the island’s capital, Oranjestad. It’s usually quiet here. The sea invites you to take a refreshing swim or go snorkeling. We love walking along this beach and enjoying the beautiful views. From here, you can often see large cruise ships passing by — a stunning sight to behold.

9. Surfside Beach
   On the long sandy beach of Surfside Beach, you’ll find several Kwihi trees that provide welcome shade. The sea here is calm, making it perfect for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding. The beach is located close to the island’s airport and planes fly very low over Surfside Beach, a fantastic sight for aviation enthusiasts. From the beach you can also regularly see massive cruise ships passing by.

10. Westpunt Beach
    How special can a beach be? You go to Westpunt Beach for its unique surroundings and the peace and quiet, as hardly anyone comes here. Unfortunately, swimming isn’t possible due to strong currents that make it too dangerous. But we can sit here for hours, taking in the stunning scenery. The beach is dotted with huge boulders you can climb. From the top of a boulder, you'll have a breathtaking view of the coastline and the sea.
