We4lv2trvl Posted February 2, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) no rentals, its a man made beach not the ocean. there is some snorkeling near the rocks. not at all representative of Aruba beaches. go to Eagle beach or Palm beach. best snorkeling is Malmok Baby Beach is not man made, although it may look like it. Nature and the storms have changed it over the years, but it is still a great beach. It is especially well suited for kids because of the shallow water and enclosed space. Hence the name "baby!" There are newly built facilities and the roads have all been recently paved. You can rent beach chairs and shade huts, but availability is limited. Snack bar food is available. There are no jet skis or other water sports. I'm not sure if anybody rents snorkel equipment because it is primarily a local beach and the locals all bring their own equipment. I snorkel there frequently, but it is very different from the other areas on the northwest shore. I've seen squid and turtles there, which are rare sights in the other areas. HOWEVER, Baby Beach is a long drive from the cruise port. If you want to rent a car and spend a day hanging out with locals, then enjoy. Otherwise, a bus or taxi will get you to the northern beaches much more quickly. Eagle Beach isn't the place to snorkel. In fact, there's no real snorkeling at Palm Beach either. If you want good snorkeling near Palm Beach, you need to go up the road to Malmok or Boca Catalina for the best places. Or take a catamaran tour from Palm Beach that will take you to the Antilla ship wreck and one of the two areas mentioned above.

Arscar Posted May 18, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hi, I am an avid snorkler but my husband needs a scooter to get around, breathing issues, not mobility. Is there a nice beach I can swim and he can maneuver a scooter to close to the water, paved paths, shaded areas, chairs, tables. How about baby beach?

Boca Catalina is a great spot for snorkeling, there's no chairs but some shade. Bring some bread and the fish will swarm you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arubalisa Posted May 20, 2015 #9 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Palm Beach offers a concrete "boardwalk" along almost all of its entire length. With that said, there is no real snorkeling on Palm Beach. This video can offer a bit of what you could expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantorindahouse Posted September 22, 2015 #10 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) I do not want to hijack this thread. This is just an FYI Please do not feed the fish bread. Bread can expand inside the fish and death may result. A good alternative to bread is banana pieces because they do not expand and are more digestible. https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=A0LEVicnnQFWjd8ALyUnnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTByMDgyYjJiBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMyBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzYw--?qid=20110424184448AA7R5sU Thanks, Charlie Tuna:D Edited September 22, 2015 by Cantorindahouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
