Flamingo Beach (Renaissance Island)
Renaissance Island
A flamingo beach on a private island owned by a hotel. You can pose with pink flamingos on the white sand, but spots are limited.
Renaissance Island is a private island just off Oranjestad's harbor, owned by the Renaissance Resort in the city center. A private speedboat leaves from the hotel lobby and takes about 10 minutes. Flamingo Beach on the island is adults-only. Flamingos wander freely across the sand, making it Aruba's most famous photo spot. The family beach on the other side welcomes children. Non-guests must buy day passes, which are limited and often sell out, so book early on the official website. Do not chase the flamingos or feed them unauthorized food.
