This beach is on the far end of the island - takes about 40 minutes. It is a good experience for day, in our opinion. It is one of Aruba's most popular beaches as it borders a tranquil lagoon, making it great for families with small children. There are huts but if they are taken you can rent chairs and umbrellas and there is a restaurant.
