Want to explore under the sea, but too afraid to scuba dive? Well, then you should try snorkeling. But just remember the most important rule: NEVER TOUCH THE CORAL! Some coral contains poison and makes your skin burn and itch. Some of the good snorkeling spots include Arashi Beach, Boca Grandi, and Baby Beach. |
| No matter where you are swimming is always something to do. On this island always swim on the southern, leeward coast, never on the Atlantic side. The Atlantic side is wild and treacherous. All of the beaches in Aruba are white sand beaches, which are soft and sparkling. Some beaches that are good for swimming are, Palm Beach, Eagle Beach, Druif Beach, Baby Beach, and Rodgers Beach. |
