Blackstone Beach

For those who want a break from Aruba’s typical white sandy beaches, and crave a beach that comes with a side of adventure, head over to Blackstone Beach. Blackstone Beach, with its lack of sand and stunning black rocks, offers a stark contrast to many of Aruba’s famous white beaches. But don’t be deterred, this Aruba beach is just as photogenic (if not even more so) as the island’s more famous beaches.

Instead of sand, there are stunning rock formations, and piles of dark rounded stones that the beach gets its name from. It is a wonderful location for a photo shoot, a picnic, and even practice a bit of meditation. It’s a very unique and worthwhile beach experience in Aruba, even if you can’t get in the water or lay on inviting sand.

Blackstone Beach is within walking distance from Andicuri Beach, making it a great place to visit on the same day. The photos from this beach are particularly stunning with the early morning and with late afternoon glow.
