The Caribbean island of Aruba is known for its impressive coastline, and Eagle Beach is the most definite sandy strip. This beach is often visited not only by its turquoise waters and white sand, but also water sports. But if you are looking for a beach that is perfect for swimming, head to the west side of the island and you will find the magnificent two-mile beach of Palm Beach.
With its powdered sugar, white sand and blue water, this is definitely one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. And since there are fewer wakeboarders and jet skis, you will be more comfortable swimming in a wide area. Palm Beach is a smooth stretch of sand without random rocks. This is the perfect place for sunbathing and people are watching. The site closest to the shore is shallow, but as you go further, it goes a little deeper.
While Eagle Beach is a low-rise Aruban territory; Palm Beach is considered "high-rise." Here you will find some of the most luxurious hotels, temporary promotions and 5 star resorts in the area. Some of these upscale accommodation options include Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort & Casino, The Radisson Aruba Resort, Hotel Riu Palace Aruba and Aruba Marriot Resort. If you decide to be a guest in one of these fashionable joints, be prepared to treat yourself to first-class service and amenities. But even if you don’t stay in one of these hotels, the beach is always open to all. Some places even allow visitors to change their bathrooms in the lobby and buy snacks from concession stands and bars.
Palm Beach has become a favorite among the families visited, not only for calm waters; but because of its child-friendly atmosphere. Here, the tourist office offers events, activities, discounts and free delivery for young children. Many of the hotels and resorts on Palm Beach also provide babysitting and children's programs to keep children busy, so parents can spend some time enjoying adult tours and dinner dates.
If you want to spend some of the hottest time in a place other than the wide open beach, go to the sights near Palm Beach. One of them is a protected natural area called the Bubali Nature Reserve. Butterfly Farm is another popular place that will undoubtedly appeal to families.
And, having spent an unforgettable day in Palm Beach, do not rush to leave! Walk barefoot on its beautiful coastline at sunset, and you will never forget its fascinating beauty. Because of the availability of luxury hotels and entertainment centers, you know that the nightlife in Palm Beach is never boring. Try your luck at various luxury casinos or a shop in the two largest shopping centers in Aruba, which are located near Palm Beach. You also do not need to travel far to search for world-class restaurants and exciting bars. So when the evening comes to Palm Beach, go for a nice candlelit dinner, order your favorite drink and chat with fellow travelers - this is the perfect end to a fantastic day in this typical Caribbean attraction.
