Where to stay Eagle Beach:
Find a nearby hotel
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 like:

The water is absolutely perfect. The color, the temperature, the current - it is all inviting
-
Great location, close to most of the resorts and city areas in Aruba
-
It’s a bucket-list beach that every beach lover should want to check off the list
-
Lots of conveniences, including food, drinks, bathroom facilities
-
Rental equipment, boat tours, and palapa rentals are all easily accessible from the beach
Things we don't like:
-
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
-
Some parts of this beach feel too touristy, and can be lacking in authenticity
