Aruba Beaches

You won’t find a bad beaches anywhere along Aruba’s leeward side. All are the public, clean, and easy accessible. Many are outfitted with lounge chairs, tables, and shade umbrellas intended for use by guests of the nearby resorts. Others have no facilities, but offer more privacy.
Arashi, Boca Catalina and Malmok Beaches, near the California Lighthouse, are all part of the Arashi Underwater Park. Calm water, gentle currents, shallow reefs, and superb visibility make them popular swimming and snorkeling sites. There are a few shade huts at Arashi but no other facilities. Snorkelers spot large elk horn coral, sponges, and schools of colorful fish six to 30 feet below the water’s surface. Steady winds at Malmok draw windsurfers.
