tbmrt Posted November 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2013 We will be visiting Aruba and Curacao while on a cruise. Definitely snorkeling in Curacao. I love to snorkel, hubby not so much. I've been looking at videos of Eagle vs. Boca Catalina and determined the following as plus' and minuses. Eagle Good - wide beautiful beach - good for long walk - Sandy bottom Negatives - No snorkeling from shore - has jet skis, etc....Is there a certain section where water "traffic" can be avoided? Best place to sit? (Would want chairs or shade trees at least) Boca Good -snorkeling not far from shore, easy entry, pretty in a natural sort of way Negatives - not walkable, smaller "ocean" view, tend to get crowded due to small size? I would love to do both, but hubby won't do so! Thanks for any help you may provide. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arubalisa Posted November 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I would snorkel the 2 snorkel trails at Playa PortoMari in Curacao. If one of you does not snorkel it is a nice beach day as well. Just bring a pair of water shoes if your feet are tender. ;) In Aruba I would make it a beach day and go to MVC Eagle Beach Resort on Eagle Beach.

cb at sea Posted November 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 28, 2013 On beaches where they offer watersports, (wave runners, jetskis, etc...) the activity takes place waaaay offshore....so swimmers aren't affected at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arubalisa Posted November 28, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 28, 2013 ...and most resorts have their swimming areas roped off so that power boats and jet-skis are kept out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
