Aruba Beach Map: Where Locals Swim (and Where Not To)

By a local at Aruba Adventure Guide Β· born and raised on Aruba
★Written by someone born and raised on Aruba who has done many of these tours, not a generic AI summary.

The short answer: swim on the calm west and south coasts. Eagle Beach for sunset, Baby Beach for small kids, and Rodgers Beach next door when you want it quieter. The north-coast beaches are beautiful but wild: look, don’t swim. Orange pins are our local picks.

Tap a pin or a beach in the list to see it on the map. Use the buttons to show only the beaches you can swim at, our local picks, or the ones to just look at. Every beach in Aruba is public and free.
