Arashi Beach, Aruba

Arashi is the last stretch of beach on Aruba's northwest coast, past Boca Catalina and just before the California Lighthouse. It has white sand, calm water and a quiet, relaxed feel, and locals love it.

What it's good for

• Swimming. Calm water and gentle currents.
• Snorkeling. Plenty of marine life, within reach of the sand.
• Floating and relaxing. Bring a float and stay a while.
• Families. Easy parking and a snack shack close by.
• Sailboat views. Catamarans often anchor off this coast.

What you'll find there

• Beach huts
• A snack shack
• A large parking lot
• Access by car, taxi, bus or on foot

Shade at Arashi

Bringing your own umbrella means carrying it, planting it and hoping it holds in the trade winds. For shade that's ready when you arrive, book one big umbrella and two beach chairs for $120.00 a day.

Respect the beach

Arashi is a public beach, open to everyone. Your booking pays for the equipment and service. It doesn't close off any part of the beach.
