evandbob Posted August 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) What is available in the afternoon for Aruba? Preferably in walking distance from the port? My 1st time to Aruba, I was staying at the Renaissance Hotel, 5th floor, when I saw a cruise ship looming outside the window! Seemed so close, I later saw the cruise dock was just a few hundred yards away. There is shopping and several restaurants in the complex outside the dock/hotel, and also a small movie house. You can walk to a taxi area and get a cab to one of the nearby beaches, Eagle or Palm. Edited August 27, 2015 by evandbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrufy Posted August 27, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Its short walk to the downtown area. Shopping and restraunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted August 27, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 27, 2015 The downtown area is only a couple of blocks from where you'll be docked. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlou Posted August 27, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 27, 2015 All the downtown shopping is within walking distance of the port. You can also get day passes to the Renaissance Island. I'm not sure if you can arrange that ahead of time or if you have to go to the front desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love my grandkids Posted August 27, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Beach can be walked to but would say it is about two miles. Easier to take island bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arubalisa Posted August 29, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Do a search here in the forum on Reflextions beach or Surfside beach. It is about a mile and an easy walk along the new linear park which extends southward from downtown Oranjestad towards the airport.
