Enjoyed our experience
Jun 2022 • Couples
The water was beautiful. I liked how there was a place to rent snorkeling equipment and the lady there was very helpful about telling us what areas to go and where to stay away. Definitely listen to this advice because the current can be incredibly strong in the area they tell you to stay away from. There were a couple of restaurants in that area. The one by the snorkeling rental had an infinity pool that overlooks Baby beach. Overall I’m glad I went.

Beach itself is beautiful
Jun 2022 • Friends
Gorgeous beach but the oil refinery really detracts from the otherwise beautiful environment. Plenty of space & palapas available when we arrived at 10am. We took beach chairs from our Airbnb but there were loungers etc to rent. Overall we enjoyed our day here.

Tasty beach
Jun 2022 • Couples
This place had nicest beach we saw. In an enclave keeping the sea calm and warm. Can walk a long way as it is do shallow. One restaurant serves the place and there are a few huts to get shade in. A good place to see. Not developed around the beach either so it’s less touristy

I think we went on a bad day
May 2022
We read so many reviews of this place. It was a 'must see' for us. But actually our experience was nothing special. As its right at the tip of the island, the strong waves from the east side are just beyond the sea barrier. It was very windy and overcast and the waves were crashing against the barrier and the water in the lagoon was actually very choppy. We'd heard of good snorkelling but saw nothing. I think we were maybe the wrong end (we were by big mamas) but still nothing worth mentioning. As it was very windy, the beach attendants were popping up tents all along the waters edge for people to rent. This was great for them I'm sure but blocked our view of our kids in the water as we were under a palapa. With the choppy conditions, I needed to keep standing up to check on them so couldn't really relax. There are toilets there but you need to pay $2 to use them. I don't doubt this is a beautiful place and many people love it but it was nothing special for us on the day we visited. We found Aruba on the whole , absolutely stunning and all the other beaches we visited were much better. I think we went on a bad day but think because of its location at the tip of the island it could be variable. It wasn't really worth the drive for us. Much better beaches and snorkelling near the north end.

Unique and enjoyable
May 2022
Not sure if the beach or the road to the beach is nicer. Very unique place. Round and pristine. You can swim if you go far from the shore... Nice snorkelling towards the edges, near the stone "wall" Do not swim beyond the calm water area.

Amazing blue water!!
May 2022
I can see why Baby Beach is rated number 1 in Aruba! Totally worth the drive to the southernmost part of the island. Very relaxing and very clean. The different colors of blue water was mesmerizing! Definitely put this beach on your list!!

A must see
May 2022
Great day trip, but get there early to get a shaded spot amongst the natural shade trees or rent a cabana for the day at $60.00 for the day. Great snorkeling spot! We packed our own lunch but there is a place to eat there.

A very clean and beautiful little beach without a lot of people. They have some chairs for rent. The water is some of the most beautiful I have ever seen in my life

Amazing beach, combining the massive waves outside the reef and tropical calmness inside
May 2022 • Couples
Wow, this is the beach posters are made off! Beautiful tropical turquoise waters, very calm inside the barrier, with massive waves behind.
Beach chairs are available but at a price and not a whole bunch of shade.
Snorkeling ok-ish, not a nice reef, still quite some nice fish and to top it off, rather surpriseingly, a ray!
