What you'll do

Palm Beach is the water sports capital of Aruba. This two-mile stretch offers every imaginable activity: jet skiing along the coast, parasailing with views of the entire island, stand-up paddleboarding in calm waters, and banana boat rides for the whole family. Equipment rental and instruction are available right on the beach.

Why it's on the Playbook

Palm Beach is the water sports hub of Aruba: jet skiing, parasailing, paddleboarding, and banana boat rides all rent right on the sand, with equipment and instruction on site. Morning sessions have calmer water for paddleboarding. Prices with beach vendors are negotiable, especially for jet ski rentals, so it pays to ask around.

Pro tip

Negotiate prices with beach vendors, especially for jet ski rentals. Morning sessions offer calmer water for paddleboarding.
