Best Beach for Wildlife Viewing
Where to stay Mangel Halto Beach:
Mangel Halto Beach

Another natural beauty that inspires an appreciation for nature is Mangel Halto Beach. Mangel Halto Beach has a perfect natural setting and is known for its mangrove forests and welcoming tranquil waters. Some of the best snorkeling and diving reefs in all of Aruba are located just off the shores of Mangel Halto Beach. In fact, in the right conditions, you can even walk out to some of them.

This area is well-protected, which makes it an ideal and safe place for swimming, kayaking, and paddling in Aruba. There are also many mangroves along the coast, which help to block any wind. There are several huts that allow for shade as well. This area is great for those looking for a bit of seclusion, and a break from the resort vibes present at places like Palm Beach and Eagle Beach.

Even without the luxurious amenities, the lovely white sand and lack of people make Mangel Halto Beach a fantastic Aruba beach for those looking to balance natural beauty and relaxing sand sessions.
