baltodave Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 (I posted this question in our FB group but thought I'd repeat it here) We will be in Aruba soon and will be taking a taxi to Eagle or Palm Beach. Which one would be better for renting chairs/umbrella and snorkeling off the beach (we have our own snorkeling equipment)? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho and Barb Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 We like Eagle Beach but the renting of chairs and umbrellas are expensive. But we think its expensive at any beach you may go to. We have learned though to bring our own collapsible soft sided ice chest and buy our drinks at the port...There is a CitGo gas station right outside the port. We stop there and purchase our beverages and ice...Walk across the street and grab a cab to Eagle Beach. Sorry but we haven't snorkeled there so can't be much help on that. baltodave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseAway Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 We took the local Arubus to the Palm beach and had a great time. No added taxi fair. The bus was $6.00 round trip. I highly recommend it. ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanBrian Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Don’t rule out Baby Beach. We enjoyed it last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard great things about Baby Beach, but is it pretty far? Following this thread, and also would like to throw Arashi into the mix as well if anyone has feedback. OP @baltodave ditto to the bus recommendation. Routes & schedules here: https://arubus.com/popular-destinations/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeWhoWaits Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 The OP asked about snorkeling. My experience with Eagle Beach is that it tends to be pretty rough wave action, which is great for other in-water activities and irrelevant for "beach time." Other beaches may be better options for snorkeling. jbrinkm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki007 Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 we are big fans of palm beach. Nos Clubhuis by the Marriott is a great place for lunch and happy hour. Chairs and umbrellas are expensive but so is everything in Aruba. We stayed at the Marriott for a week and I could have gone on 3 cruises after buying groceries for a week in Aruba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
