Baby Beach
Aruba · San Nicolas · 2 m
Description
Baby Beach is a near-circular lagoon at the southeastern tip of Aruba, closed off by a reef arm so that the water inside stays waist deep and completely flat for a hundred metres out. That makes it the beach families and weak swimmers are sent to, and the calm also makes the snorkelling easy, with parrotfish and rays over the seagrass at the mouth. There is a grill, a shade rental and very little else, which is roughly the point after the crowds of the hotel strip.
