Swimming
Swimming at Eagle Beach in Aruba is a delightful experience. The water is clear, calm, and warm, with a refreshing temperature of around 80°F (27°C) all year round. The beach’s powdery white sand is soft and easy to walk on, and the gentle slope of the shoreline makes it easy to enter and exit the water. The sea at Eagle Beach is relatively calm due to the shelter provided by the island’s position, making it a great spot for swimming and other water activities. You might even spot a pelican or two. The shallow water near the shore is perfect for wading or swimming with children. Lifeguards also monitor designated swimming areas during the day, ensuring a safe swimming experience. Visitors can also enjoy other water activities at Eagle Beach, such as paddleboarding, kayaking, and parasailing. The calm waters and gentle breeze make it an ideal location for these activities, and equipment rental is readily available along the beach.
Snorkeling
You’ll love this slice of paradise – swimming here is terrific, but Eagle Beach may not be the best snorkeling spot on the island. While the water is crystal clear and there is plenty of fish to see, the shallow waters near the shore do not have as many coral formations as other areas of the island, which can limit the variety of marine life that you can see while snorkeling. There are several other locations on Aruba that are better suited for snorkeling. Malmok Beach and Boca Catalina, located on the island’s northwestern coast, are known for their coral formations and abundant marine life. Arashi Beach and Tres Trapi are great snorkeling spots with clear waters and plenty of action! You’ll love Tres Trapi in particular, where the sea turtles often come out and swim.
