Looking for Aruba beach info

[David9261]

We will be sailing on Navigator of the Seas on the ABC cruise in March and have never been to Aruba. What are the best beaches within a 10-15 minute cab ride of the cruise terminal? Any all inclusive resorts with day passes?

Look at the ports of call, lots of info there. We like Palm Beach

Eagle Beach. A short taxi or bus ride. Several resorts to choose from that offer varying facilities. And, yes, do go to the ports of call board.

Either Eagle or Palm beach..both are nice...not too far apart. No need for an "excursion" to go to the beach in Aruba!

Palm Beach is great! My picture is one I took there.

We like Palm better than Eagle because Palm has a pier with a restaurant and a few shops.

Don't waste your money on a cab. It was super easy to follow the crowd and take the bus. $5 for a round trip ticket netted me some local coins in change.

 

Plenty of water toys to rent if you want to get dragged behind a speedboat (it was a blast).

 

I think Eagle Beach is the first one (where the hotels and the over-the-water bar/restaurant is). Palm Beach is farther along. (But I never saw any signs, so I could have it mixed up). If you're looking to rent a shade structure, go early. By 11:00 when we got there they were all taken.
