Caribbean Moment: Finding the Blue on Eagle Beach in Aruba

By: Guy Britton - January 4th, 2025

aruba eagle beach — Aruba's Eagle Beach.

If you’ve been to Aruba, you know. You know the island has one of the greatest concentrations of beaches of just about anywhere on earth.

You also know that there’s one that seems to tip the scales a bit, to lead the pack. It’s Eagle. Eagle Beach is just that much whiter, that much wider, that much bluer — it’s one of the most stunning stretches of sand you’ll ever encounter, and whether you’re staying at one of the handful of resorts on the beach (from the Bucuti to the Manchebo to the new Iberostar) or just spending the day, you’ll see exactly what we mean.

Take a quick trip to Eagle Beach in the latest edition of Caribbean Moment.
