Hadicurari Beach (Fisherman's Huts) in West Coast, Aruba

Hadicurari Beach (Fisherman's Huts)

West Coast

Hadicurari Beach, better known as Fisherman's Huts, is where Aruba's legendary trade winds create world-class conditions for windsurfing and kiteboarding. This is the home of the annual Hi-Winds competition, one of the largest wind sports events in the Caribbean. The beach itself is beautiful but often windy, making it more of a spectator sport or wind sport destination than a lounging beach. The old fisherman's huts that give it its nickname add rustic charm.

Best time

Afternoon, when the trade winds peak and the kiteboarders are out in force.

Swim safety

Windy and gusty, this is a wind-sports beach, not a swimming or lounging beach.

Parking

Free lot at Fisherman's Huts, shared with the kite/windsurf schools.

Shade

No real shade, bring an umbrella or rashguard.
