As you make your way through Arikok, don't forget to stop by this charming beach. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, with the soothing sound of waves crashing against the shore creating a peaceful ambiance. However, it's important to note that the water can be quite turbulent, making it unsafe for swimming, especially for children. So, while you're here, be sure to take in the beauty of this spot, but refrain from taking a dip.

Numerous coves adorn this particular stretch of the island, each one more stunning than the last. However, the ocean here is quite lively and harbors treacherous undertows. Despite this, reaching the beach by car is possible, albeit the road leading up to it is quite rough and bumpy.

The beach is absolutely stunning with its crystal-clear blue water and pristine white sand. As others have mentioned, it's not the ideal spot for swimming due to the strong waves and warning signs. Despite this, a few daring individuals could be seen taking a dip in the water. This beach is perfect for those who love to wander and discover new places or simply want to unwind and bask in the sun. Pack a towel and enjoy a relaxing day at this picturesque destination.

Although the view is idyllic, I wouldn't classify this location as a traditional beach. The sea on this part of the island is quite tempestuous, with towering waves and strong currents. It's a great spot for taking stunning photographs, but I wouldn't recommend swimming or wading in the water.

This destination is truly remarkable, however, it is not recommended for thrill-seekers who crave the rush of adrenaline to take a dip in the water. The breathtaking scenery of the waves crashing against the reefs is captivating enough without the temptation of stepping foot into the water. In simpler terms, it is a feast for the eyes, not the body. The waves on the northern side of Aruba are not to be underestimated and can be dangerous, hence the warning signs. During our visit, we witnessed a couple who quickly retreated from the water when they saw us passing by. It is imperative to heed the warning signs. Despite this, the beach is still absolutely stunning and awe-inspiring.
