Where to stay Dos Playa:
Dos Playa

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.
