Cooler PAcked with drinks & Reusable drinkware

A cooler with drinks is a must for staying hydrated while beaching it in Aruba. As the temperature is MUY CALIENTE year-round, we would definitely recommend packing some H20.

Additionally your beverage of choice is also welcome to get extra festive on your BEACH DAY on the One Happy Island. Our personal faves? Wine & beer.

Don’t forget the ice to keep those drinks cold!

Beach Bag with Snacks

Snacks are always a good idea. As for what kind of snacks, that’s all up to you. No one’s gonna judge you for bringing a pizza to the beach.

Want to shop for some goodies to fuel up on while you have your R&R day?

Check out the grocery stores in Aruba for food and drinks! (ice too!)

Trash bag – KEEP THE BEACHES CLEAN

  1. Be sure to clean up after yourself.
  2. If you see some trash due to the unfortunate act of litterers, help our island out by picking it up! One small act, by many, can have a MAJOR IMPACT.

BEACH-WORTHY ACCESSORIES

We LOVE floaties and snorkeling here at VisitAruba. Having these beach accessories on hand just makes the day even more enjoyable.

From water activities like surfing, to seaside sports such as beach tennis and playing soccer, to reading a good book while you catch some Vitamin D, beach-approved accessories are like the cherry on top of a sundae.

LAST, BUT NOT LEAST YOUR AMIGOS 😀
