Clean Beautiful Beaches- Arubans take pride of the beauty of their coast and many private organizations volunteer services throughout the year to help maintain the beach areas. AHATA Coastal Zone Clean-up has sponsored this activity since 2001 with nearly 1000 volunteers. The areas that are included: Rodger’s Beach – Santana di Bestia – Baby Beach – Bachelor’s Beach – Boca Grandi – Grapefield – Zeewijk – Mangel Halto – Santo Largo – Bushiri up to Tamarijn – Costa Linda and Bucuti – Eagle Beach – Amsterdam Manor up to Divi Phoenix – Fisherman Hut – Boca Catalina and surroundings – Arashi – California Dunes – Lighthouse – Boca Druif – Wariruri – Old Natural Bridge – Boca Prins – Boca di Tortuga and Dos Playa.

The Costal Zone Clean-up is a reminder to everyone- tourists and natives- not to litter. While on the beach, properly dispose of Styrofoam and plastic cups and take-away containers in particular, as these can be blown into the sea by Aruba’s trade winds. This debris is extremely hazardous to marine life, especially turtles which often choke on them when mistaking them for jellyfish.

Aruba Island, this Dutch owned territory in the Caribbean Islands has some of the most beautiful white sand in the world. Aruba is the perfect place for total relaxation with the continuous cool trade winds soft sand and crystal clear waters. Aruba is a great place for family vacations and the coastline is perfect for many different water sports like - scuba diving, windsurfing, sailing, tubing, waters ports, jet ski, snorkeling and fishing. The island has two very different landscape terrains; the southwest coast has very calm warm waters, white sand, palm trees, divi trees and seasonal breezes. On this side of the island the coast is a perfect setting for romantic sunsets, sailing, dinner cruises, swimming and all beach activities. The northeast coast has a rocky cliff like landscape with very strong ocean currents and high waves. There are few areas for swimming or beach activities on this side of the island but there are breathtaking dramatic sites, natural views, places for hiking, four wheel tours and sightseeing. It is on this side of the island where the Natural Pool and Natural Bridge are located. Although the Natural Bridge has collapsed there are smaller ones forming along this coast in the same area. You will need a four wheel drive vehicle or SUV to travel into this area on your own. There are also horseback riding tours that you can go on to explore the northeast coast.

When traveling to this area of the island it is wise to bring some fruit, snacks and drinking water because there no snack shops around. What clothing to wear? You should wear sneakers, hiking shoes or similar footwear to protect your feet when walking on the rock surfaces and if you are wearing a swimsuit, bring a cover-up for sun protection. The sun's rays are very strong in Aruba and with the constant breeze you may not feel the burning of the sun so care should be taken for protecting your skin to avoid sunburn. Always use sunscreens or sun block when sunbathing, tanning or walking along the coast and beaches. Aruba's climate is perfect for sunbathers, water sports, water skiing, para sailing, diving, snorkeling, fishing, jet ski, tubing, windsurfing, relaxing, cruises, sunset sailing and sun tanning.
