Ship docked in Aruba 1 pm - 11 pm - how should we spend our time there?

[mar214]

We will be docked from 1 pm to 11 pm on January 17, 2024. Since sunset is 6:30 pm, and we probably won't be able to leave the ship until 1:30 at the earliest, we are not sure if it's worth making our way to Eagle Beach for such a short amount of time before it gets dark. What suggestions do our CC friends have for us? We've never been to Aruba. Thanks in advance!

I would suggest going to Palm Beach and maybe take a sunset cruise. There is a nice path you can walk that starts around the Hilton and goes along Palm Beach toward the Holiday Inn and passes by alot of the hotels. You can also walk along the beach too. There are restaurants and shops along the road. Find a restaurant like Smokey Joe's, Fisherman's Hut, Salt and Pepper are among some of the good ones. The beaches are beautiful, even if you just walk along them. 

 

Red Sail, out of the Hyatt has a nice sunset cruise.
