With its giant, shallow cove and being bordered by bleach-white sands, Baby Beach is the best beach for families who love to swim. The grand cove at Baby Beach is completely protected, as much of the bay is surrounded by land, with the rest protected by a shallow reef. This gives Baby Beach the feel of a giant natural swimming pool, complete with fantastic snorkeling opportunities.
Baby Beach is a bit off the path of most resort areas, located near Aruba’s southern tip. This spot is great for wind protection but takes a bit more work to reach without a car. But the journey is surely worth it. You can dip your toes into the clear warm waters and walk for what seems like minutes, and still only be knee-deep in this lagoon.
Being further from the larger resort areas, there are fewer crowds and more locals. But even with the lack of resorts, there are still equipment rental shacks as well as refreshments and food stands along the beach.
Things we like:
-
Safe waters great for families with kids
-
Amazing snorkeling and diving opportunities from shore
-
Less windy than many other beaches
-
Surrounded by beautiful natural scenery
-
Far from tourist areas, giving it a more authentic “island” vibe
Things we don't like:
-
Not easy to reach, especially by public transportation
-
No public restrooms
-
Very few facilities are available, so you need to plan ahead
-
Its shallow waters are not always desirable for some water activities
-
Not a lot of natural or rentable shade
