Traveling in Eagle Beach
Aruba, only fifteen miles north of Venezuela, is a top Caribbean tourist destination. It's a small island, only 20 miles long and 6 miles wide, and is an autonomous dependency of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. One of the most popular and beautiful beaches on the island is Eagle Beach. It's a popular beach with the locals, and a common destination for many who are looking for a party. The beach is particularly crowded on Easter weekend. The sand is a sugary white and the waters are a stunning crystal blue color. The beach itself is quite flat and the ocean is so calm it's like swimming in a pool. There are a handful of palm trees if you're seeking shade, but otherwise it's the ideal place to soak up some rays. You'll find some shaded picnic areas as well if you're hoping to enjoy a casual lunch.
The area's climate is tropical marine so there is little seasonal variation. The sun can stay strong but a constant breeze keeps you comfortable. Daytime rain is rare but showers are more common at night. The high season is between January and March and the off season is between April and December. Aruba does lie outside of the hurricane zone.
Neighborhoods & Around
Eagle Beach is both a beach and neighborhood in Oranjestad, Aruba. The area has many low rise resorts, and the beach itself is very wide and beautiful. Across the street from Eagle Beach is the La Cabana Resort. There are also a handful of timeshares in the area but like all beaches in Aruba, Eagle Beach is open to the public. It's located just south of Palm Beach but the two are separated by a rocky outcrop making it difficult to walk between the two. You can stand on the rocky outcrop and often times you'll see the flock of green parakeets that live there. The best times to spot them is during the early morning hours or in the mid afternoon. You'll likely hear their distinctive screech long before you spot them.
