It is a paradise for water sports, with many unique places for scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, windsurfing, and more. Every year, many tourists, especially divers, flock to this island to enjoy water sports in the crystal clear waters and explore the incredible marine life. 

So, if you are planning to visit Aruba anytime soon, here’s a list of the best beaches to snorkel in Aruba. 

The Antilla Shipwreck

The Antilla Shipwreck in Aruba

Antilla Shipwreck is the second-largest shipwreck in the Caribbean and is famous among divers and snorkelers. The wreck is located in Malmok Bay and can be easily accessed. The ship sank during the Nazi rule era that dates back to 1940. You can easily swim around the 400 feet long shipwreck that lies 60 feet deep in the sea. You can enjoy the diverse sea life and get a chance to witness moray eels, tropical fishes, coral, and more.

Mangel Halto

Also known as the ‘Spanish lagoon,’ it is located near Savaneta. This spot offers snorkelers to observe abundant sea life, including stingrays, squids, parrotfish, blue tangs, and yellowtail snappers. Apart from snorkeling in Aruba, you can also enjoy and try other water sports like kayaking, paddle boarding, and scuba diving.

Boca Catalina

If you are short on time, we recommend you to head to Boca Catalina as it has everything a snorkeler could ever want. Boca Catalina is considered to be the best site for snorkeling in Aruba. 

Many snorkelers visit the area, due to which fishes are used to humans and may come up to you in the water, magical isn’t it? Keep your cameras ready to click this beautiful moment. 

Eagle Beach

As we all know, Eagle beach is one of Aruba’s best and most famous beaches. The beach has no coral reef, but tropical fish and crabs in the water are not more than a few feet deep. If you are someone who is snorkeling for the first time, this is a great experience to start with.

Tres Trapi Beach

Tres Trapi is just a few hundred meters north of Malmok beach. This is another excellent spot for snorkeling near Malmok beach. Though the beach does not have a reef, you can witness dozens of starfishes. The starfish is located in about 10 feet of water, making it easy to see them while snorkeling in Aruba.

Baby Beach

The half-moon-shaped bay opens to the ocean on two sides. The protected water off Bay beach is one of the best spots for snorkeling; you can either rent snorkeling equipment from a nearby shop or bring your snorkeling gears if you have one. The current outside the cove is too strong, so most marine life stays near the shore.

Arashi Beach

Arashi Beach in Aruba

If you are a beginner, this beach is the perfect spot for you as it offers outstanding beginner-friendly snorkeling close to the shore. You can see coral reefs with diverse types of hard and soft corals, brain coral, sea fans, and elkhorn coral.
