Eagle Beach
A wide, soft white-sand beach with two iconic fofoti trees. It has repeatedly been named among the world's best beaches and is lined mostly with low-rise hotels.
Eagle Beach lies about 3 km north of Oranjestad. Its beach is wide, its waves are gentle, and it's less crowded than Palm Beach. It has repeatedly topped Tripadvisor's lists of the world's best beaches. Two fofoti trees on the sand, bent southwest by the trade winds, are Aruba's most photographed spot, especially beautiful at sunset. The beach is free to access, and shade umbrellas can be rented from the hotels. From March to September, sea turtles come ashore to nest. The nesting areas are fenced and marked, so turn off your flashlights at night.
