This was recently voted the number #1 beach in the Caribbean according to Tripadvisorβs Travelersβ Choice 2023. Not only that, but the and number #2 beach in the World! Eagle Beach is the widest beach of Aruba with more than a kilometre of pure perfection β white sands lapped by crystal clear blue waters with the iconic wind-bent divi divi (or fofoti) trees and the daily iridescent breathtaking sunsets over the water. If you're lucky, you may even spot turtles nesting on the shore. Despite its fame, Eagle Beach remains a tranquil sanctuary, quieter than Palm Beach, with plenty of space for everyone to sunbathe, play, or read a book. The area offers an uncrowded atmosphere, with a range of dining and water sports activities available. Eagle Beach is simply a genuine paradise for beach lovers. β OTHER BEACHES β There are many other amazing beaches well worth exploring in Aruba.
