About Blackstone Beach
Lined with small and shimmery black eroded stones, Black Stone Beach is the only beach in Aruba boasting “black sand”. Erosion by the water not only created black pebbles but also rather sharp and edgy rocks that both characterize this location. Black Stone Beach lies just east of Boca Andicuri or Andicuri Beach, it is located close to three newly forming natural bridges in Arikok National Park. The beach is quiet and secluded.
Swimming or snorkeling here is not recommended because of the strong currents and high waves at this location. This beach, on the east side of the island, might be an ideal location to enjoy a picnic when you are in the neighborhood. The surroundings are rocky, and you will hardly find soft sand. Black Stone Beach is a little bay. Where the ocean reaches the beach you will notice scattered rocks everywhere. The beach features some vegetation, but when you look for trees to enjoy shade, you will be disappointed. They’re just not around!
Prepare well
Black Stone Beach is located on the east, rough side of Aruba, at an off-the-beaten-track location that not many tourists visit. Make sure you arrange proper transportation, such as a four-wheel drive. Wear proper clothing and a pair of good shoes. Walking around barefoot is not an option at this location. Make arrangements for sufficient refreshments and some food and bring towels and protection from the sun like hats or caps and sunglasses. Don’t forget to bring some protective sun lotion too.
