bucky0926 Posted July 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Looking for a beach with amenities (chairs, umbrellas or shade, bathrooms, food and drink). Also must have snorkeling from the beach. Reef can be far out I'm a strong swimmer but would prefer no currents. Something like Blue Bay Beach on Curacao or resort like Chogogo Dive and Beach Resort on Bonaire. Been to both and they were fantastic. Does Aruba have something in the same vein? Thanks in advance for your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topspot Posted July 28, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Arashi beach has amenities. Snorkeling is to the left as you enter the water. Snorkeling is better at Boca Catalina (IMHO) but there are NO amenities here. This is the beach before Arashi. Take the 10A bus 2.50 per person each way. Bus station across the street from cruise port. https://arubus.com/routes-schedules-new/l10a-arashi/ This google maps link will show the beaches and bus stophttps://www.google.com/maps/@12.6102845,-70.0622849,9221m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted August 1, 2023 #3 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I would definitely pick Arashi. You can rent chairs/umbrella's there and there is a restaurant there as well. The beach is beautiful and sandy. Snorkeling out to the left, you can go toward Boca and the snorkeling is excellent!! We go to Boca many times when we stay on the island (as previous poster said, no amenities there) because it's such good snorkeling. We've went to Arashi by cruise ship and snorkeled down toward Boca and then walked back on the road (short walk) to Arashi. HERE is just a little review of Boca with tons of pictures to show you what the snorkeling is like. (It's like this from Arashi all the way there). You will see the boat snorkeling tours bring people here as well because the snorkeling is so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
