The southwestern coast with white sand beaches and crystal clear waters is the most popular spot. World-famous Palm Beach boasts high-rise hotels and casinos, while Eagle Beach offers picnic areas and low-rise hotels. Arashi Beach is a perfect place to swim and snorkel because of its clear waters and gentle currents. Visit Baby Beach, which is ideal for children. Windsurfing is a popular sport here, and with its constant year-round trade winds, which average 15 knots, it’s a prime sailing destination. A rugged countryside dotted with mysterious caves and natural formations, is easily explored as the island’s small size makes it nearly impossible to get lost. Here you will find world-class shopping – jewellery, watches, perfume, cosmetics, china, crystal, linens and designer fashions. Diners can sample a range of cuisines, from Creole and Indonesian to French. The casinos, which are open from early afternoon until late at night are worth a visit. Explore Aruba’s countryside – see the 100 foot-long Natural Bridge carvedout of coral rock by the rough surf. At the centre of the island is Hooiberg, with a stairway ascending its 541-foot peak, from which you can sometimes see Venezuela. For nightlife Aruba offers dancing, cabaret show and 11 casinos to choose from.
