10 BEST BEACHES on ARUBA | Local vs Visitors' Perspective

[@michaelgarro4316]

Hey Hyro, Just finished a 6 night trip to Aruba and wanted to thank you for all the informative tips on your channel. I was able to visit Arashi Beach and Tres Trapi. Both beaches were very beautiful and I can’t wait to go back. My resort was located on Palm Beach at the Hyatt Regency which was close to many of the local restaurants. Hopefully next year I will visit the island again and will be able to visit some of the others.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Glad I could help Michael! Love the Hyatt and it's very well situated.

[@EricCullen71]

Your channel on the La Cabana TVs in the lobby. Watched all your Aruba videos before we got here and have a great list thanks to you. Thank you thank you and wow what a beautiful island. Here now and loving it

[@joshuabritt5677]

I love la cabana. Been going there for five years. Is Doug still security manager?

[@LetsgowithHyro]

I was there yesterday and saw it for myself (for the first time), so cool! Thanks for the support and watching the videos, enjoy the rest of your stay!

[@joshuabritt5677]

Black pebble beach on the east side of Aruba is my favorite. The sound of the pebbles in the waves is so peaceful. Baby beach has amazing snorkeling but that currant is a force to be dealt with. Great video Hyro.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Indeed, I absolutely love the black pebble beach! In this case I was going for the more swim friendly beaches 🙂 Baby beach is indeed one that we need to be careful too! Thanks for watching!

[@rajun1231]

If you have snorkeled in the Caribbean or Indonesia and then snorkel Aruba, you will immediately realize that there isn't much snorkeling to do. Coral is dying off and what is there is limited. Don't get me wrong, Aruba is okay for first time snorkelers.

[@goldingtonbetty]

So my jet ski rental left from Eagle beach... was fun but had too slow down many times due to spotting turtles coming up for air which I found cooler than the jet ski's by a long way.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Oh no...the Eagle Beach is indeed so popular for them to lay their eggs each year. It's sad to read this. Love the turtles!

I agree with the visitors! Baby beach#1 and Mangel Halto#1 , tres trepai was nice but hard to get up and down the steps but love how different the last 2 beaches are. I will check Roger's beach this week.

[@lbrayford2115]

Always great videos of Aruba! Thanks Hyro for making me feel like I’m there even though I’m surrounded by snow in Canada right now and should be there. We always stay at Palm Beach at the Barcelo the high rise area but in non COVID times it is usually super busy as you noted. As we don’t drive when we’re there it was nice to get to see all the different beaches in this video. I have to admit that Eagle Beach looks great. The only problem for me is that if you stay at the low rise hotels you have to cross the main road to get to the beach. We like to be on the beach most of the day and be able to go back and forth to the resort for lunch and drinks etc. That is not so great if you have to cross the road! Thanks for your great videos.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thank you too! Hope winter passes by very quickly this year :-) As for the high-low rise hotels you do have a good point there. It's certainly more fun to directly on the beach! Hope we may welcome you back very soon, thanks for watching.

Eagle beach is stunning, but it's incredibly windy.

The wind keeps you cool despite high temperatures. My favorite Aruban beach by far.

[@anthonymorris5084]

@@jonsher7682 Beautiful for sure, but walking along it, the sand granules were cutting into our legs, hats were useless and lounging under a palapa was extremely difficult.

[@jonsher7682]

@@anthonymorris5084 As someone who has spent about 12 weeks at Eagle Beach over the years, and who often went for long walks from Costa Linda north to Amsterdam Manor and South to Divi Beach, I have never once had that exceptionally soft sand -- the softest I have felt at any beach -- irritate much less cut my legs. Never had a ball cap come off. And never found lounging under a palapa anything less than relaxing and perfect. Do you own an airbnb or timeshare someplace other than near Eagle Beach?

[@anthonymorris5084]

@@jonsher7682 No, we rented a condo on Eagle Beach in May several years ago and it was incredibly windy the entire week. We had numerous walks along the beach that were difficult except in the evening which was calm. Even by the pool we were hit with serious winds the entire week.

I have been on Aruba countless time but have only been to 3 of these beaches. I have to explore more next time.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

[@matthewpuntin5011]

Great video Hyro. But My #1 pick is Manchebo beach and the nearby area! We go to Casa del Mar every year.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thanks Matthew, great choice! I included it (via text) as the extended Eagle beach stretch. The sand there is TOPS!

[@edgaracevedo9658]

I've been to most of those beaches except Tres Trapi and surf side beach. I went snorkeling at Mango Halto with Aruba Bob Snorkeling which was quite an experience. We went from the beach out to the ocean with these hand held motor water propellers to help push you out of the beach as well as bring you back. Saw a sunken ship, a lot of fishes way way out there 40FT of water and deeper I think 100Feet. Eagle Beach is my favorite but hard for me to get in and out of water due to an issue I have with my left hip.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

They are all so good in their own way. Interesting info on the Mangel Halto. It’s a wonderful area. The eagle even if just for sitting there during sunset is super amazing!

[@livefreeordie3992]

If you go to Manchebo beach at the corner you will find it much easier to get in and out.

[@EdCNJ]

Great list of beaches that can be easily accessible by anyone. Rodgers, Eagle and Arashi in that order are my personal top 3…..to round out my top 10 would be Manchebo, Mangel Halto, Andicuri, Divi Beach, Baby Beach, Surfside and thanks to you Hyro, the secret beach within Arikok has made my top 10. Although Andicuri is no longer easily accessible to get to I had the pleasure to have experienced it a couple of years ago during a UTV tour. I continue to return on my own via a 4x4, love that spot and it was great for body boarding. The secret beach will remain a secret or people will just have to watch the video haha. I hope Rodgers remain the way it is even with the new resort being built near there. Palm didn’t make my cut, it’s a bit overly crowded for my liking.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

You can't entirely go wrong with any of them but I prefer the quiet ones too. That beach in Arikok is pretty cool indeed! I used to body board there too (long time ago). Thanks for watching!

[@juliehunt2385]

LOVE THIS VIDEO!! What would be your top ranking beaches for snorkeling?

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thanks Julie! It depends, for beginners Tres Trapi (for the turtles) and the next door Boca Catalina. Otherwise Mangel Halto but either take a tour here or be very careful with the currents. It's a much larger area with lots to see. Last could be Baby Beach but I don't like to recommend it for snorkeling because the currents there can be deadly (on the outer part).

[@juliehunt2385]

Is that something new? Or do you have to walk across the street from the beach to get to the resturant and restrooms?

There are restaurants and bars both on the beach side or across the street. Restrooms are located were the F&B establishments are, sometimes they may ask you to spend on something, say a cola to use them.

Thank you Tiago, nice to hear from you! As far as the information requested, I've heard that there is a company providing such service but unfortunately I am not aware of the name. Usually at the popular beaches you will find places that rent though and there are several bars and food options. If you are staying for an extended period, perhaps consider buying (chairs, drinks etc. at a supermarket) since the costs do add up.

Private, expensive to go to, man-made, small beach that is crowded because there is so little sand and whose flamingoes have clipped wings so they are essentially prisoners there and in a place where those birds are not native.

Agree

[@Arjay404]

I would say if you have kids, then Baby Beach ranks higher, if you don't then it ranks lower. It's still great either way, but it's just about how much enjoyment you personally would get out of it. If you have kids the crowds might be seen as a good thing as (not that it's likely especially at BB) you have many more eyes to be able to help your kids out of a bad situation should it happen, it also allows your kids to make a beach friend to play with. As an adult you might want more calm and alone time so the crowds work against that.
