Shallow, bathtub-warm lagoon, Aruba's most child-friendly beach.
- Family friendly
What you'll do
Baby Beach is a curved beach sitting inside a natural lagoon with calm, crystal-clear, bathtub-warm water. It's the most child-friendly beach in Aruba, with shallow waters extending far from shore. The reef at the edge of the lagoon offers decent snorkeling for older kids and adults. Pack a picnic or grab snacks at the Rum Reef Bar nearby.
Why it's on the Playbook
Baby Beach's curved lagoon has calm, crystal-clear, bathtub-warm water, which makes it the most child-friendly beach on the island. Older kids and adults can snorkel the reef at the lagoon's edge for a bonus. Pack a picnic or grab a bite at the Rum Reef Bar next door, and stay for sunset if you can.
Pro tip
Bring your own shade, because palapas fill up early. The snorkeling at the reef edge is surprisingly good. Stay for sunset for a magical experience.
