Yes,
it's
as
good
as
you
already
think
it
is!.
The
beach
is
absolutely
gorgeous.
It's
a
west
facing
beach
so
you
won't
see
sunrise
but
you
do
see
sunset.
The
sand
is
about
as
fine
as
I
have
ever
seen.
In
many
areas
it's
almost
a
powder.
It's
white
and
it's
clean.
The
ocean
is
a
gorgeous
shade
of
turquoise
and
about
20
other
shades
of
blue.
We
were
in
Aruba
for
8
days
and
the
first
few
days
the
ocean
was
calm
and
the
beach
was
idyllic.
The
last
few
days
the
surf
had
picked
up
and
was
surprised
to
see
4-
5
ft
waves!
I
got
out
there
with
many
other
people
and
had
a
blast
body
surfing
and
messing
around.
I'm
glad
we
chose
to
stay
on
Eagle
Beach.
Our
hotel
was
in
a
quieter
section
in
the
center
of
eagle
beach
and
it
never
really
got
busy.
To
the
south
around
Manchebo
it
was
definitely
busier
as
the
hotels
are
much
bigger.
Eagle
Beach
does
have
a
few
dining
options
but
not
many.
If
you
want
a
busier
nightlife
with
more
bars
and
restaurants,
you
need
to
go
south
to
Manchebo
or
north
to
Palm
Beach.
The
palm
beach
restaurant
scene
is
pretty
crazy
and
fun
and
you
should
definitely
check
it
out,
but
I
don't
like
sitting
on
the
beach
with
a
million
people
around,
so
we
decided
to
stay
on
Eagle
Beach
and
visit
Palm
Beach
when
we
wanted.
My
girlfriend
and
I
found
easiest
way
to
get
around
was
on
"bird"
scooters.
This
kind
of
adds
some
fun
to
the
adventure
of
going
up
to
Palm
Beach.
It's
about
a
15
minute
scooter
ride
from
the
middle
of
Eagle
Beach
to
the
beginning
of
the
restaurant
mayhem
in
Palm
Beach.
You
can
also
scooter
to
Oranjestad,
which
we
did
a
couple
of
times
and
that
takes
about
25
minutes
on
a
scooter.
Our
last
day
in
Aruba
was
on
Dec
26th
and
four
cruise
ships
docked
that
day
adding
about
14,000
people
to
the
island.
Needless
to
say,
many
of
them
came
to
Eagle
Beach
and
it
lost
some
of
its
charm
as
there
are
so
many
people.
I'm
glad
we
got
to
see
it
on
quiet
days
and
when
I
went
on
my
morning
walks
sometimes
I
only
saw
two
or
three
other
people.
It's
a
beautiful
beach!
