Baby Beach Family Day, San Nicolas, Aruba

Family · San Nicolas

Baby Beach Family Day

Shallow, bathtub-warm lagoon, Aruba's most child-friendly beach.

Half Day
Best for young kids

Book this if

  • You're traveling with young kids and want calm, shallow water
  • You want decent snorkeling for older kids and adults too
  • You want food and drinks nearby at Rum Reef Bar
  • You want a naturally protected bay, not open surf

Why our team recommends it

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.
