The color of the water, the breeze, the temp of the water... Go there if you have the chance, it's such beautiful and pristine beach, and it's the only one where there are no vendors or people trying to sell you stuff. More

Arashi Beach continues to be our favorite beach in Aruba. The beach area has been modified a little. They have taken down the wooden huts and added more palapas. Chairs are available for rent for $5.00 US but the shade is free. Lots of parking as well. Great for swimming and snorkeling as it is very calm. The water is... More

Easy access by car was good. The views-like most of the Aruba beaches--are great. We had fun snorkeling, but not where we would want to hang out for hours. Lots of the tour boats stop to snorkel here, so you know it is a good spot for that. More

Nice beach area and clean. Had a few huts as well. There are quite a few larger rock areas in it, so I wouldn't say its ideal for swimming. We went because we heard its a great beach for snorkeling. We saw some different kinds of small fish, but that was about it..I was expecting more but maybe we didn't... More

Beautiful beach with very clear water! I would not recommend it for snorkeling,(we saw maybe three fish) but great for a day of complete relaxation in the sun. More

Arashi Beach, what else can I say but that I wish i was there now! We took the bus to Arashi beach early in the morning and when we arrived we were just stunned by how beautifully clear the water was (my profile picture is actually at Arashi. Could not get enough of the beautiful turquoise water, so clear if... More

This beach was a few minutes from where we were staying, and I'm really glad it was. Clean, not too crowded, beautiful water, nice swimming. There's a guy who rents beach chairs for $5. Get there early for a palm hut for shade and a place to put your stuff. More

The first time we went to Arashi, we were disappointed in the snorkling. We didn't see many fish, but we were in the wrong spot. The second time we went, we snorkled in a spot down from the first. We say many fish and it was wonderful. So, if you want to snorkel, do not do so in front of... More
