Best Overall Beach
Where to stay Eagle Beach:
Eagle Beach

Eagle Beach is consistently ranked one of the best beaches in the world. Not only is this beach the most desirable beach in Aruba, but Eagle Beach also tops many reputable “best beaches” lists. In fact, some travel hours by plane just to walk its powdery white shoreline and bask in the salty heaven of its waters.

The perfectly soft sand stretches on for miles, so even with some busy areas with beachside restaurants, speedy jet skis, and other activities, it is possible to find a quieter spot on most days.  There is also a limited number of palapas for those looking for reliable shade.

The winds here are hit or miss, as this area does not get the worst of the tradewinds, but can experience some breezy days. But windy or not, the swimming conditions are usually great, with fairly calm and undeniably welcoming waters. Just make sure you stay in the designated swimming zones to avoid contact with leisure crafts.

Eagle Beach is located in the Noord area of the island, which is a central location. It is easily reachable by bus, taxi, and car.

Things we don't like:
  • check-mark
    This is Aruba’s most popular beach, so it can get very crowded, and lose some of its tropical oasis allure

    The water here can get quite busy between paddlers, motorboats, and even jet skis
  • check-mark
    Some parts of this beach feel too touristy, and can be lacking in authenticity
