Wanted......nice beach w/bar and preferably live music

[LadyBerard]

Although we've been to Aruba a couple times, one time we did a catamaran snorkel/beach excursion (wouldn't do it again......time on beach was too short, and their open bar drinks were very watered down) and the other time, we spent our day on the beach and bar/DePalm Pier.  Is there a beach with a bar and live music?  We'll be going back to Aruba on our Summit repo cruise this Oct.  Thank you.

There are a lot of beach bars that offer live music at Happy Hour or evenings.  Not much during the day.

Moomba Beach or Bugaloo Beach might be your best bets.  Surfside is close to port. And Arashi Beach Shack will sometimes have music but decent snorkeling with showers and wifi.
