Location
Palm Beach, Aruba
Discover an island that energizes the senses. Where untamed desert beauty is bound by a turquoise ocean. An isle of ancient caves, coral reefs, legendary lagoons, open-air markets, and colorful boutiques. Aruba has the highest standard of living in the West Indies and has become one of the most popular vacation spots in the Caribbean. Aruba's diverse cultural heritage makes it a fascinating place to visit and explore. It is not surprising that many of Aruba's popular pastimes involve its blue waters and beautiful beaches.
The most famous pastime is windsurfing thanks to the consistent 20-knot trade winds. Equipment rentals and instructors are available, so give it a try! Less than a mile offshore, the sea abounds with sailfish, wahoo, yellow and black tuna, and marlin. Sport-fishing trips are widely available. The German freighter Antilia, scuttled at the start of WWII off the northwest coast, is a favorite destination of scuba divers. Shallow, gentle waters at Druif and Arashi Beaches where you can see a reef of elkhorn on the sandy bottom are a big draw for snorkelers. Or you may like a cruise on a glass bottom boat or catamaran which combines a picnic with sightseeing.
Be sure to explore Aruba by land, too. The countryside is dotted with windswept divi-divi trees, cactus, and pastel-colored houses. Bubali Pond on the west coast is a bird sanctuary that attracts a great variety of birds - pelicans, cormorants, wood storks, and long-legged egrets among them. You can go horseback riding on highly trained paso fino horses from South America. Golf lovers can play the Aruba Golf Club near San Nicolas and the new Tierra del Sol course in Arashi in the northwest tip of the island, Aruba's first world-class golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones II. Aruba has over six Vegas-style casinos for nighttime entertainment as well as superb restaurants, shows, and shopping with many bargains to be had on European porcelain, jewelry, perfumes, and clothing.
