Hadicurari Beach, better known as “Fisherman’s Hut,” is a unique beach environment that visitors should check out on a less-windy day. Hadicurari Beach is famous throughout the Caribbean for its kite surfing, as it has ideal consistent winds.
But Hadicurari Beach also has great powder sand and fewer crowds than places like Eagle Beach.
Even where there are sustained winds, the waves stay relatively calm on this side of the island, making it possible to take a dip into the jade-colored ocean.
The beach gets its name from the huts that local fishermen built here many years ago. Now, the fishing industry is overshadowed by the surfing and windsurfing that dominates this area. In fact, the biggest windsurfing event in the Caribbean, “The Aruba Hi-Winds” takes place at the beach each year. This makes Hadicurari Beach a fantastic place to take a windsurfing lesson, or just sit in a beach chair and marvel at others as they slice through blue waters on their wind-powered vessels.
Things we like:
-
The perfect place to watch windsurfing and even take a lesson
-
Great beach views and lots of beautiful sandy beach
-
There is an authentic local spirit at this beach, making it feel less touristy
Things we don't like:
-
This beach can get very windy, resulting in unpleasant sandblasting
-
Swimming is possible here, but not ideal - there are far better swimming beaches
-
The wind and watersport activities make this a less-than-ideal beach for relaxation compared to other beaches further south
