Water activities are plentiful in Aruba, so be sure to schedule time for snorkeling, sailing, paddle boarding, and diving. The island is known for its swift, warm breezes, so windsurfing is also a great excursion. On Eagle Beach, you can enjoy some of the softest sand in the Caribbean and relax under shaded beach huts.
