There is a lot to see and do on Aruba. Here are some sights with a short discription.
Natural Bridge
This was one of Aruba's most popular attractions. The bridge was a formation of coral limestone cut out by years of pounding surf, and was one of the largest of these types of spans in the world. There is no admission fee or set hours for visiting, but you'll find a few refreshment stands nearby open daily.
Natural Bridge is still a very popular spot, and there is a smaller bridge (Baby Bridge) nearby.
Natural Pool
The Natural Pool or "conchi" called "Cura di Tortuga" is a secret, hidden pool on the windward coast surrounded by rocks and is a perfect getaway for a moment of total relaxation.
The location of the pool is surrounded by some of Aruba s most rugged terrain, so visitors truly get the feeling of having "discovered" something when their eyes focus on the site. Diving from the rock cliffs into the protected pool of ocean water is the main reason why so many venture here off the beaten path.
Alto vista chapel
The chapel was built in 1952 on the site of the original, and first, Catholic church built in Aruba in 1750 by a Spanish missionary, Domingo Antonio Silvestre. The bright yellow chapel is reached by a winding road lined with white crosses marking the stations of the cross. It is a special place for peace and contemplation, surrounded by the Aruban countryside.
Eagle beach
Miles of white powder sand and friendly surf. Lots of motorized watersports (jet skis, etc), and hotels right across the street organize watersports & beach activities. Accessible by public bus, car or taxi.
Palm beach
White powder sands as far as the eye can see, and excellent swimming conditions in calm water. For changing and refreshments, you can use the public areas of the nearby hotels. Hotels also offer their own watertsports center. Accessible by public bus, taxi or car.
Oranjestad
With nice restaurants and bars you can relax in Oranjestad. But it is also a great place to go shopping. If you are in search of known designer names then the Royal plaza is the mall for you. From Tommy Hilfiger to Benetton, the Royal Plaza Mall is one of the most traditional shopping areas on the island. Conveniently located near the cruise docks, this venue is designed to please tourists.
Baby beach
A family favorite with heavenly white powder sand and calm turquoise water. Snorkeling is wonderful here too. Some facilities, and there are several refreshment stands, and a couple of beach huts provide some shade. Accessible by taxi or car
Palm Island
Enjoy Aruba from your own private island! Board an air-conditioned motorcoach to De Palm Island, where you can snorkel in an underwater paradise, rich in spectacular coral formations and colorful fish. Food and beverage facilities are available.
