It is perhaps best known for its two major beaches, Palm Beach and Eagle Beach.
Eagle Beach is a popular public park with shaded picnic areas.
At the southwestern point of the island is Manchebo Beach, a wide strand fronted by several hotels. Druif Beach, also lined with hotels, is located right next to Manchebo. Many of Aruba's other beaches are ideally suited for certain water sports. For example, Arashi Beach is a perfect place to swim and snorkel because of the clear waters, gentle currents and abundant underwater life. Windsurfers should visit Bachelor's Beach, a favorite hangout near the island's southeastern tip.
