This is a local favorite to come and relax, have a cold beer and fresh fish. Make sure to come early, as is becomes crowded quickly. You can watch the fisherman bringing in their catch early in the day and watch as they prepare it in their open kitchen.

This is the most relaxing stretch of beach on the southern side of Aruba. The water is calm and shallow. The lagoon is wonderful for families with small children and snorkelers will love all of the beautiful fish and the occasional visiting turtle. There is a pay for restroom available by Big Mama's Grill.

Consejos para la ciudad
Qué empacar
Sunscreen is a must
Plan for Aruba's sun! Aruba's weather is generally mid 80's and sunny. With the trade winds consistently blowing, you are always getting more UVA's than you feel that you are getting.
