Arashi Beach

Great beach but can get very crowded late morning and early afternoon, especially during the weekend. Tiki hut is needed for the intense sun so get there early! Great place to watch the sunset and snorkel.

Turquoise water beautiful sunsets it’s a really enjoyable beach for family and friends, you can a have a palapa if you get early or you can rent an umbrella and beds there price may vary depending on days and how busy also different people has those available, look for best price!

Arashi beach is not that big, it has free parking lot, and you can park at the side of the road also. There are palapas that are free, but they are mostly taken. Even if you take palapas there are rude people that will just sit with you without asking if they can join, and take most of the palapas. There are also few palms that can give you some small shade and there are maybe 2 bushes as well, but for me bushes are unsanitary because i saw what some people do in the bushes (like blowing their noses here, yuck). You can find wasps in some bushes and animal droppings. You can rent umbrellas but i din’t ask about the price, i think is 35+ dollars like everywhere else, for only umbrella. Sunbed is usually 10$. Water is nice color if it is sunny, but bad if it is cloudy. It gets deep quickly and most of the beach is full of rocks. But it is better on the right side of the beach because there is a small strip where water is shallow. But current is strong and there can be strong waves. Winds are super strong, like everywhere else, and they are making it impossible to enjoy being in the beach or even in water- getting your hair wet is hard task because you will be cold. Also internet here is the worst. We paid e-sim card and carried it with ourselves but no internet here. Even wifi from the beach bar is bad. Baby beach was my favorite beach on island, and Eagle beach is better choice than Arashi, but Arashi is my 3rd choice.

This beach is one of my favorites! The water, the white sand, and the entire area are simply breathtaking. If you’re in the area and looking for a great beach, head north on One Happy Island and enjoy this natural beauty. There’s a bar and restaurant nearby, and if you’re lucky, you might even catch the ice cream truck. Chairs and umbrellas are also available for rent.

Beautiful beach with views of the California Lighthouse. Recommend coming around 3 or 4 when all the cutthroat competition for parking and palapas has already cleared out. Beware the very rocky/shelly areas when first going into the water- I got scraped up pretty bad, would recommend water shoes.

A nice beach and all, but we went here because other reviews said it is good for snorkeling. On that front it was pretty disappointing. It doesn't seem to get deeper than about 6 to 7 ft anywhere, and we went out at least a couple hundred yards. We were getting kind of close to where some boats were parked before we finally gave up. There's a decent number of fish in some places, mostly near rocks, but not much variety. This is our first attempt at snorkeling in Aruba, and I am hoping we have more success at some of the other places.

Stunning beach (clean and soft sand!) with good snorkeling (we saw lots of fish and a sea turtle). Also a bonus of cool lizards! If you catch the ice cream truck go for it! He has good prices and yummy ice cream!

One of my favorite beaches so far, it wasn’t too busy and the prices for drinks and snacks are quite decent. Just make sure to bring your own umbrella and chairs for a more convenient vibe.
