Best Beach in Aruba for Waves

[mufflogan]

I have a 9, 12, and 14 year old who love jumping around in waves. We don't really want calm waters. Does anyone know the best beach in Aruba for our scenario?

On beaches with waves, you're also going to have undertow...and it can be unsafe if the undertow is bad......

Eagle Beach is your best bet for waves. Some days the waves are fairly big and some days they are very small.

[Keith1010]

I agree about Eagle Beach.

 

Be careful wherever you go.

Waves do not always mean you will have undertow. It depends on the winds, size of waves, slope of the beach, direction beach faces, whether the beach is on the open ocean or a bay or a sound. I have spent most of my life on or near beaches(and I love them), so I know something of what I speak. That said, as another poster advised you should always be cautious, but you do not always have to be overly concerned with undertow just because there are waves. Hope you and your kids have a great time !:)

Andicuri Beach

Andicuri has large waves, but it is not recommended for swimming or playing around in the water, due to the strong currents.

Andicuri is on the windward coast. Swimming on the windward coast is NOT advised. Large waves and treacherous currents.
