The Natural Pool, known locally as Conchi, is a volcanic rock formation that creates a sheltered tidal pool on Aruba's rugged north coast. Accessible only by 4x4, ATV, horseback, or on foot through Arikok National Park, getting there is half the adventure. Once you arrive, swim in the crystal-clear waters while waves crash dramatically over the volcanic rocks.
