Must See Aruba - Palm Beach to Eagle Beach

Take an exquisite slice of nature, add a bunch of concrete monoliths, a forest of palm-thatched beach umbrellas and a flotilla of watersport toys, and you'll get some idea of the adventure playground that the resort area stretching from Eagle to Palm Beach has become.

There's no denying that the sand is as soft and fine as you could wish for, or that the water shimmers like a Hollywood movie sunset, but there's also no ignoring that this entire stretch of coast is devoted to the business of providing a Caribbean beach experience for as many people as possible.

There are far worse places to join the crowd, since Palm Beach has great swimming and snorkelling and Eagle Beach is too broad and dazzling to fit in a fisheye lens, but if you want to discover all that Aruba has to offer, don't spend your whole time horizontal here.
