Top Nature in Aruba

My advice is to take a stroll down the beach and explore the little beachside bars and food shacks. They’re often overlooked but can have delicious local bites at great prices.

My advice is to bring your own snorkeling gear and some snacks. Renting equipment can add up and the beach food is a bit pricey for what you get.

If you’re looking for snorkeling, head to Baby Beach instead. It’s only a 30-minute drive from Palm Beach and way better for marine life. I wasted time trying to find good spots at Palm Beach!

Get there before 10 AM if you can, or like, enjoy the sunrise vibe. The beach gets packed later and it can be hard to find a good spot. Trust me, it’s worth the early wake-up!

If you want to rent a beach cabana, do it as soon as you get there. They get snatched up quick, especially on weekends. I had to settle for a spot under a tree after waiting too long!

I suggest getting to Arashi Beach around 9 AM. The morning light is perfect for photos and you’ll snag a good spot before it gets crowded. Plus, the vibe is super chill early on.

I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks to save some cash. The beach bars are nice, but the prices can add up quick! Pack a cooler and enjoy a picnic by the sea.

I think you should definitely embrace the local fauna; watch out for the goats! They were so much fun to see, but don’t get too close—they nibbled on my backpack!
