Clear water, easy swimming, and one of my favorite sunset beaches
Arashi Beach is one of the beaches I always recommend when someone wants calm water, good swimming, and a more relaxed feel than the main hotel strip. The water is usually very clear, the beach is easy to enjoy, and the rocky edges can be good for snorkeling when conditions are right. I also like it late in the day because the sunsets from this side of the island can be excellent. Parking is usually straightforward compared with some busier beaches, and the snack/bar setup makes it easy to spend a few hours here without overplanning. It can get busy, especially when tours are stopping nearby, but overall Arashi is still one of the most reliable beach stops in Aruba.
