Surfside Beach

The beach is just under a 30 min walk from the cruise port. A quiet beach with a couple beach bars that have lounge chairs and umbrellas that you have to pay for. There is a lot of seaweed on the bottom so you can clearly see where you can walk out in the water from the beach. Not much to see if you are snorkeling. The airport runway is at the end of the beach so planes are always landing and are very close. The beach is not bad, a free place you can go to from a cruise boat so you do not have to pay for an over priced excursion.

One of the best, most underrated beaches in Aruba for sure. They have a really nice restaurant right on the beach, and a bar too. The airport runway is right next to the beach too, so you can see airplanes arriving from around the world up close, and if you look back you can see them departing too!

Excellent place to grab some beach eats and drinks and watch some planes. It's immediately under the approach path for runway 11. The restaurant is priced really well, and the beach is shallow so you can walk out really far.

If you want gorgeous waters, natural tree shade, & a calm place to snorkel, this is the best beach!!! We stopped by quite a few & this was our favorite!! There is also a restaurant for food & drinks!

Lots of parking and excellent place to swim!

I spent almost everyday in Aruba at The Reflexions Beach Club. It’s a family friendly beach, but trust there’s never many kids running around. Cabanas are $27. Food about $20-30 and the lids menu has a nice variety. I felt sooo exclusive relaxed here. They walked my drink to the beach, served me fresh and well cooked meals, and never skimped on my alcohol.

It's an ok beach. The sand is nice and the water is shallow, but the beach is small and the water is weedy. Planes fly overhead to land at the airport kind of like Sint Maarten but less dramatic and dangerous. Lots of parking. Two bar/restaurants right on the beach too.

Small but beautiful beach. Little bar at the end with lounge and umbrella rentals. Parking is close, water is clear. Coral is very visible and lots of boats in view (planes too). Additional pics of the beautiful pier we walked to get there. Multiple access points to get in the ocean. We heard lots of birds and saw many different flowers. We did not see any shower spots.
