Boca Catalina Beach
Great snorkeling and amazing views
Tourist area, but even though it's blocked by the high rises (all beaches are open to the public in Aruba) check it out for shopping, restaurants and night life.

Συμβουλές για την πόλη
Τρόποι μεταφοράς
Rent a Car if you plan to explore the island.
Make sure to take coins with you for parking when you are in downtown Oranjestaad. You can use US $ pretty much everywhere in Aruba. The resorts are actually a bit snobby if you use local florins.

Search out restaurants on facebook
Most restaurants will offer "local" deals on certain days and at certain times of the day. Don't drink anywhere unless it is happy hour (one is available always), otherwise it is too expensive.
Έθιμα και πολιτισμός
Be careful with teens drinking
Most bars in Aruba will serve teens as young as 13, so watch out for the kids if you don't want them drinking.

Aruba is super safe!
We keep a closer eye on our son in the US than we do in Aruba. People are generally very friendly and honest so your kids are very safe running along the beach etc.

Comfortable and lightweight
Everywhere is casual so you don't have to bring anything really fancy unless you just want to;)
