Boca Grandi on the southeast coast is Aruba's wild side. Strong, reliable winds and dramatic waves make this a playground for advanced kiteboarders but a dangerous spot for swimming. The rugged beauty and powerful surf create stunning photo opportunities. This is not a lounging beach - it's raw, untamed nature at its best. Come to watch the kiteboarders perform aerial tricks against a backdrop of crashing waves.
Best time
Midday to afternoon for the strongest wind and the most dramatic surf for photos.

Strong wind, powerful waves, dangerous currents. Do NOT swim here, it's for advanced kiteboarders and watching only.
