About Boca Prins
Boca Prins is part of the Arikok National Park.
It is a tiny beach that only measures about 55 meters. It is part of Boca Prins Bay, a bay surrounded by cliffs on the east coast of Aruba. Because of the currents and the high waves, it is actually dangerous to swim or snorkel here, you have to be an experienced swimmer, but it is not recommended at all. Boca Prins is worth visiting because of the environment, you can take some great pictures here. Remember that the sun sets on the other side of the island when you look for typical sunset into the ocean pictures! Also, surfing takes place here, but there are better opportunities at Bachelors Beach, Boca Grandi, or Grapefield Beach. From Boca Prins, you can also hike into Arikok National Park through the dunes. The beach stretches there because of the constant trade winds from the northeast. As always, at secluded beaches without facilities, prepare well before visiting and emphasize renting or taking the proper transport. When looking for privacy and a beach off the beaten track with a rough ocean, Boca Prins is the right beach to visit.
