travel the caribbean aruba beaches
After driving around the island in the morning on our 1992 trip, we met up with our friends at a beach west of Oranjestad.
The Caribbean waters are, for the most part, clear and warm and contain quite a bit of sea life... good for snorkeling.
We found insolated, rock-framed beaches on the northeast coast where, it seems, all South America's floatsom seem to collect on the beaches.
West of Oranjestad, we found windsurfing beaches and a nice white sand beach along the front of private residences.

Northwest of the port city at Oranjestad, we snorkeled at this beautiful beach fronted by some beautiful modern homes.
We saw some interesting fish swimming among the plastic bags and diapers.
