Blue and calm waters on Eagle Beach, soft white sand. Great place to watch the sunset with a bottle of wine, on the sand.

We have previously snorkeled at Malmok and Arashi beaches in Aruba, but were looking for a typical white sand beach this time around.

We were torn between Eagle and Palm beaches. After talking to a few people, the consensus was that Palm Beach was the `Fort Lauderdale of Aruba`, packed with people and hotels. Not sure if this is fair, but we wanted a less crowded experience so we chose Eagle.

We heard that the water on Eagle Beach is very rough. It was mildly wavy and not still, but not in the least rough. The beach itself is perfection. Clear blue water, and white sand shores. Plenty of iconic divi divi trees for shade (and photo ops!). Lots of guys renting chairs and equipment as well

Been to many many countries on my travels and Eagle Beach is definitely my number one, a very close second is Australia and third Hawaii. What makes this my number one is the water & white sands, the beach is so vast allowing you to have your own space if you want or sit where the palapa’s are situated where other holiday makers are, which at this time of the year (Sept) was very few.
The water is crystal clear and is cool so very refreshing in the very high temperatures. Absolutely, loved Eagle beach and will definitely return, so relaxing and very much a chilled out area to be.
