Baby Beach provides a blissful setting suitable for kids, as well as inexperienced snorkelers and swimmers. Within a calm lagoon, the shallow waters and gentle waves allow you to wade out far from shore and still touch the bottom. A number of snack kiosks and rustic huts complete the authentic Aruban setting. This makes a good alternative to the busier beaches near popular hotels, and several outfits offer snorkeling gear and beach beds for rent.

Snow white sands and beach huts face southeast, and a leafy network of mangroves hem in the bay that leads to the reef. More experienced snorkelers can head to the outer reef where octopuses, morays, and barracudas reside.

Despite being a small, public area, the beach doesn't get as many frequenters as other nearby spots, so take a book along and enjoy the privacy. Beginner swimmers will feel at ease in the lengthy shallows; more active swimmers need to go a fair distance before reaching deeper levels. Watch your toes, as crabs frequent these waters.
