Dos Playa, which translates to two beaches, is located off the beaten path along Aruba’s preserved eastern shore. Dos Playa Beach is a fantastic pair of secluded beaches tucked into the edge of Aruba’s Arikok National Park. The two pristine and less-frequented beaches are separated by limestone cliffs, adding intrigue and ambiance to this already magical natural setting.
Dos Playas can only be reached by car, and a 4X4 is best to navigate the tricky roads. There are great hiking and exploring opportunities starting near Dos Playa Beach. Making this sandy spot a home base for a day of wilderness fun is ideal. The water is rather dangerous, however, so don’t bank on a refreshing dip after a hike. The beach here is not good for swimming in general, as only experienced surfers tend to crave the large waves and strong currents.
Things we like:
-
It is surrounded by nature, being located in Arikok National Park
-
Great for those who love hiking as much as the beach
-
Very quiet and tranquil, and rarely full of visitors
-
The beach has a very rugged and authentic quality
Things we don't like:
-
This is a hard beach to get to
-
You need a car (ideally a 4X4) to get to this beach, which is not always possible
-
There are no facilities at this beach, meaning you need to bring everything there and take your trash with you
-
Not a good swimming beach, especially for non-expert swimmers
