Baby Beach

Baby Beach sits at the southeastern tip of Aruba near the refinery town of San Nicolas, sheltered by a natural reef that keeps the water calm and rarely deeper than a meter — hence the name referencing its suitability for small children. The horseshoe-shaped lagoon offers some of the island's clearest shallow water, making it a go-to spot for beginner snorkelers exploring the reef edges. Unlike the resort-lined beaches of Palm Beach to the north, this stretch draws a genuine mix of local families from San Nicolas and tourists seeking calmer surroundings. Facilities are basic, and the atmosphere noticeably more laid-back than Aruba's main tourist corridor.
