If you’re a beach lover, you have probably heard about Aruba’s award winning beaches. Hearing about them is one thing, but to experience them yourself is quite another. Poetic turns of phrase like “powdery silver sands” and “transparent turquoise waters” are accurate visual depictions of the island, but an Aruba Caribbean vacation is a feast for all the senses that has to be experienced to be understood.
Palm Beach, on Aruba’s most populous southwestern coast, is the island nation’s most famous beach. It is here where you find many of the best Aruba hotels. This tranquil 2 mile long beach has been heralded as the best family-friendly beach in the world by the Travel Channel. That doesn’t surprise any of the thousands who go on an Aruba family vacation each year. The water is clear, unpolluted and shallow, making it perfect for the children. The beach is always immaculately clean, unlike many famous beaches that become cluttered with litter during the summer months. All of Aruba, including Palm Beach is known as one of the world’s safest travel destinations, making it perfect for families.
The Caribbean is famous for its beaches and there is a lot of competition between them for a Number One rating. Aruba’s Eagle Beach achieved the coveted “Best beach in the Caribbean” award as voted by readers in a USA Today survey. No greater proof is necessary: those who have been on an Aruba beach vacation themselves voted an Aruba beach as the best in the Caribbean. If you’re planning on a Caribbean vacation, are you convinced now to make it an Aruba Caribbean vacation?
What is it about Aruba beaches that make them so special? As any beach connoisseur will tell you, spacious, pure white soft powdery sand is a priority. Aruba’s sand fits that description to a “T.” Clean, clear, warm water is another must. You want to step in water that embraces you, not water that shocks the system. Of course, the Caribbean is filled with water like that, but the difference between Aruba and some other Caribbean travel destinations is that Aruba was not developed until the 1980′s, when developers turned their attention to eco-friendly development. Rather than allow untreated or minimally treated waste water to flow into the sea, they spared no expense and created a waste water treatment and removal system that is second to none in the world. It is rare to travel to a tropical resort and experience unpolluted water in the heart of the main resort areas. If you choose to stay at or near one of the large Aruba beachfront resorts, the water you swim in will be as pristine as it would be on a deserted island!
Conde Nast Traveller is one of the most highly regarded travel magazines in the world. If such an esteemed publisher voted Palm Beach as one of the best beaches in the world, you can rely on their word. If you need more proof, just look at Aruba travel reviews online. They all say the same thing in different words: “travel to Aruba for the world’s best beaches.” What’s stopping you? Arrange your Aruba beach vacation now and experience it for yourself!
