    Quite empty beach which is amazing!! Clear water. Also, a lot of fish bring your snorkel mask. The begging is a bit rocky so watch your steps! Worthy visit

    Best beach ever... Nice place to lay out, sand beach ocean, great snorkeling too! Can take the bus or taxi and there is a decent snack bar with adult drinks too.

    This is the BEST and most beautiful beach in the world, in my opinion. And you can "clearly sea" why 😉 Whenever you visit the great people of Aruba, make sure to take a trip and spend a day out at Arashi natural beach. The Island bar there will surely keep your hands full with tropical drinks and bellies full great finger foods. The best part is this beach is located far from the commercial side, so just you and the coast. Have fun with the family or a romantic getaway!

    This is such a beautiful place to visit! The water is immaculately clean and the most vivid blues and turquoise you can imagine. The temperature is perfect as well. The sun is no joke though!

    Located just outside the resort strip we were able to experience a different beach and water. Because the park is slightly off the grid it allowed for a great snorkeling experience. I highly recommend the 7 minute drive

    Nice beach on northern end of Aruba - Beach sand is white and clean, huts available for free if you get there early enough otherwise you can rent umbrellas and chairs. We went twice during the week making sure to be there before 9:00 AM and get a hut for the much needed shade. By 11:00 the beach fills in and it gets a bit crowded but not terrible. Food and beverage shack provides surprisingly good hamburgers and veggie burgers among other items and the beers are icy cold.

    One of the most beautiful spots on the island. Great snorkeling right from the beach. We got there from Palm beach by bus and they picked up every hour.

  • 5/5 Sonday K. 1 year ago on Google
    This beach was so fun! Periodically big waves come through. We ride the waves with a group of locals and screamed, laughed, and had a blast! The water is beautiful. Just watch for the large rock formations.

  • 5/5 Christopher R. 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect peaceful location. Long Beach with beach bar + food at southern end near parking lot. Parking on the dirt lot farther up is the better option.

  • 5/5 Leslie B. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful, clear water. Saw medium size schools of fish when snorkeling near the beach entrance. Out farther, saw hundreds of much smaller fish. Little more current to swim against out farther too. Great place for photography if you are looking for turquoise water.

  • 5/5 Mazal L. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this quiet beach. Easy to get to on the bus for $2.60 north towards the light house. Make sure you take your snorkeling gears . On the left of the beach there are a lot of corals. Love it. ❤

  • 4/5 Marie R. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful relaxing beach at the base of the California Light House in Noord Aruba. There are beach chairs, umbrellas and restrooms available for a fee. The beach bar is a bit pricey but does have wifi available most days. If you're in Aruba add this beach to your list of places to visit.

  • 3/5 Bogdan Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely spot for beach rest! Good for walking, joga and relax... However, the Beach Bar doesn't give away WiFi !!! Shame on it! Always out of service)) you can see California light house from the beach 🏖️.

  • 5/5 Melody S. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely beautiful beach! Spent the day just relaxing and enjoying the sun!

  • 5/5 Christopher C. 4 years ago on Google

    Very good

  • 5/5 Emily C. 4 years ago on Google
    We took a public bus up, but it didn't go all the way, so Orlando who works at the beach shack walked with us the rest of the way to show us the direction. We paid $8 each to have beach chairs for the day, which also gave us access to the bathrooms and the showers. The snorkeling was really good! Tons of fish and some speckled moray eels. I'd definitely visit again!

    This is where the locals go to the beach. Not a bunch of tourist like at the other beaches on the island 🏝.

  • 5/5 Doretha J. 9 months ago on Google
    Great beach away from the hotel zone! Best beach massage by Mike at this beach, by the California Lighthouse!

  • 5/5 Stefanie A. 5 months ago on Google
    Beautiful and peaceful place. The buses can take you there the L10A or L7A. I loved everything about Arashi beach.

  • 5/5 Steph S. 4 months ago on Google
    Probably one of my favorite beaches in Aruba because it is not as busy as Eagle or Palm but just as picturesque if not moreso.. caught a beautiful sunset on our last night here!

  • 5/5 Chrissy H. 5 months ago on Google
    Nice beach, beautiful views, and delicious bar/restaurant. Wear beach shoes, though. Some people complained of stepping on sharp rocks & shell.

  • 5/5 Sonja H. 6 months ago on Google
    By far my favorite beach we visited! Don’t get me wrong Eagle and Baby Beaches are amazing but Arashi had the clearest water and best snorkeling. The rental people are a bit misleading but we did end up renting chairs and an umbrella costing us $67. The food and drinks on the beach were convenient with friendly staff and yummy drinks.

  • 5/5 Andre W. 6 months ago on Google
    There is a fee of $35 to rent the cabana but they provide waitress service to the Paradise Resort across the street...Nice and peaceful location

  • 5/5 Dominique O. 6 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Yessika N. 6 months ago on Google
    The most amazing beach you could ever visit

  • 5/5 Fred D. 10 months ago on Google
    Great beach with quite a few spots to place your items. Good snorkeling to the south or north but south has a few exposed rocks to follow to deeper water. Bar/cafe is a welcome cool down after a hot snorkel. Adequate parking.

  • 5/5 Aden 1 year ago on Google
    Parking was free and the water is cold at first but if you just jump in you will get used to it quickly. I went on a Weekday so it was t as busy but the tourist crowd was still there. Definitely recommend renting out the Umbrella and chairs for like 20 bucks.

  • 5/5 Emil M. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing beach. Uninterrupted views of the ocean, very little commercialization. Lighthouse 1 mile walk. Take Bus from palm beach to Arashi. 3$ American ea h way.

  • 5/5 Monika G. 8 months ago on Google
    Beautiful sandy beach! Some covered areas available for shade. Food also available.

  • 5/5 walter Eduardo n. 11 months ago on Google
    This one as most of the Aruba beaches is so nice and espectacular turquoise waters but a little bit wavy. The restaurant and bar is so so, I think they would be better but it’s ok.

  • 5/5 Donna E. 7 months ago on Google
    The water was beautiful, food was good drinks were strong. Bring bread to feed the fish.

  • 5/5 Jeffrey L. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a pretty, clean well-maintained secure Beach 15 minutes walking distance from the cruise ship dock at Ocho Rios. I would recommend going to this beach rather than traveling farther in through Ocho Rios town which is a little rough. There's a $4 entry charge per person plus extra cost for renting beach umbrellas and beach chairs. Lifeguards are on duty. The water is delightful. They do not allow exit and entry so if you want to bring food with you get it on the way to the beach at the various restaurants and vendors.

  • 5/5 Chuck R. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome spot. Clean bathrooms,wifi and good food. Come early and make sure ask for the “big umbrella” when you rent your beach chairs. Also best sunsets!

  • 5/5 Alasgar F. 1 year ago on Google

    One of the best beaches on the island. Its small so get there early. Locals rent chairs, umbrellas and wifi. There's a small bar on the beach.

  • 5/5 L F. 4 years ago on Google
    Arashi Parks has some of the best beaches of the Western Aruban coastline: white, soft sand and clear waters. Wonderful!

  • 5/5 Lukáš D. 6 years ago on Google
    Awesome beach! Great snorkeling spot. You can rent snorkeling gear here.

  • 5/5 Jennie W. 5 years ago on Google
    Got there 8:45 and got my palapa. Started getting busy 9:30-10. Very busy by noon. Beach shack let me use the bathroom early for free, but later charged a dollar. Conveniently located trash cans. No clue what they were charging for umbrellas but they dig a deep hole so they don't blow away.

  • 4/5 Rocco F. 7 years ago on Google
    Great place to spend a day at the beach! *If spending the whole day and want to get some shade and chairs*: get there around 10AM if you want a hut (free), or pay to rent an umbrella. Chairs are extra. *If not spending the whole day*: bring some towels to lounge around, for a while catch some rays, or come later on and catch the sunset. Rent Chairs: $7/chair Umbrellas: $18(?) + a chair or two included Parking: Free Washrooms and Shower: $1 fee per use unless you buy something at the bar Soft Serve Ice Cream Truck: From 2pm until 5pm.

  • 5/5 ANON A. 4 years ago on Google
    It's one of the greatest beaches of the island. Try to get there early to be able to get a free 'kiosko' available on the beach

  • 3/5 Charles C. 4 years ago on Google
    The drinks are $8, served in an 8 oz cup that is mostly ice and has very little alcohol. Chairs are $8 each regardless of how long you are there. Total tourist trap.

  • 4/5 Ángeles S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice beach, with white sand and crystal clear water. It has some snails that can disturb you when you enter, but nothing unbearable.

    (Translated by Google) Nice place, great grumpy toilet lady, but otherwise nice. The sea is sometimes a bit wilder here with more waves, it also makes it more fun ... (Original) Leuk tentje, geweldige chagrijnig toiletjuffrouw, maar verder leuk. Zee is hier soms wat wilder met meer golven, maakt het ook leuker...

  • 4/5 Natalya G. 5 years ago on Google
    Beautiful beach but be prepared to pay money for chair and umbrellas. Even thought the beach is public, the chairs and umbrellas are not and you will be bombarded with the "owners" to buy their chairs. Make sure you get to the beach as early as possible so that you can grab some spots under the trees or some kind of shadow but if you want sun, then come whenever :). Also, if you come on a cruise ship, come outside of the port to a bus station that is literally next to cruise port and take a bus for $2.60 a person to get to this park. You don't need to overpay for a taxi (max of 4-5 people and you pay $26 per car). We took taxi to the park and took a bus on the way back.

    (Translated by Google) Arashi, our favorite beach. Clean, turquoise water, tranquility! Only one point, which has to change, it is necessary a public bathroom! Of urgency !!! There is a bathroom, which is a bar and they charge for using it !! This is incorrect! A public beach needs a public toilet! (Original) Arashi ,nuestra playa preferida.Limpia,agua turquesa,tranquilidad! Solo un punto ,que tiene cambiar,es nesesario baño público!! De urgencia!!! Hay un baño,que es de bar i cobran ,por utilizar!! Esto es incorrecto! Una playa pública, necesita baño público!
