Baby Beach or Palm Beach

[lauren0309]

We are going to be renting a jeep in Aruba so we basically will be on our own. We want to make a stop at a beach. We're undecided about Baby Beach or Palm Beach. Which is better and why?

Baby Beach is further away and in the opposite direction of Palm Beach. It is a small cove and is very shallow, hence the name Baby Beach. There are no water sports here, just the beach. It is great if you just want to snorkel.

 

Palm Beach is in the high rise area. You will find all the great resorts and water activities here. You can rent a jet ski, or para sail here. The beach is a little more crowded here.

 

Eagle Beach, located in the low rise area, is a much wider area of beach front. You can rent a jetski near the Amsterdam Manor.

 

If you want my suggestion, I would go to Eagle Beach and rent a chair in front of the Amsterdam Manor. It will cost you $ 3 for the day. There is a beach bar there also. Then take the jeep and tour the island. Visit the Alto Vista Chapel, (great views) the California Lighthouse, and the site of the natural bridge (now collapsed)

 

Have a great time in Aruba, you will love it!!!

Where can you find parking by the beaches? Is there a lot or do you park in the street?

Good question. I assume you just park along side of the road by the beach like everyone else does in the caribbean islands.
