Bobug Posted March 4, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2019 We will be in Aruba in about a month.....this will be my 3rd time but we will have the grandbabies on this trip. What are the best beaches for kids ages 9, 5 and 14 months? I will take any suggestions other than beaches also. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted March 14, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2019 The entire beach area is generally very safe (downwind side of the island). Went swimming last time just beyond the Marriott and water was maybe waist deep, all sand, for a good 100 yards offshore. Most people congregate at Eagle or Palm but the whole area is beautiful. Cab about $15 one way or $2.50/pp for city bus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatteras51 Posted March 14, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Occasionally, Eagle Beach gets strong waves. Palm Beach is consistently calmer. The kids would probably enjoy a trip to the butterfly farm, Phillips Animal Garden, the donkey sanctuary, or the ostrich farm.

Rare Got2Cruise Posted March 17, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I agree Palm Beach better for small children. The surf breaks rougher at Eagle and the little ones might get knocked down. For experienced ocean goers Eagle Beach is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdvmd Posted March 29, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Baby Beach is called this for a reason. This is a great spot for children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 29, 2019 #7 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Baby beach can have STONG currents if you go past the rocks...and there are rock! Palm beach is calm, sandy and easy to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kona_wahine Posted March 30, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 30, 2019 The rocks at baby beach are far out and no reason for children to go that far. it is like a big swimming pool and gorgeous. Only thing is it’s a bit away from cruise terminal. I’m not sure how taxi would work to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatteras51 Posted March 31, 2019 #9 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) The taxi fare to Baby Beach is steep. The current rate is $88.00 round trip for a taxi to Baby Beach from the port. I agree that it is very calm and great for kids. The rocky area is pretty far out. Palm Beach and Surfside Beach are also calm.
