8 days in Oranjestad Itinerary

When vacationing on Aruba, don't miss taking a tour of Oranjestad, the capital of the small Caribbean island.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Boca Cataavlina and Antilla Shipwreck. California Lighthouse and Sasariwichi Dunes and Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Venture out of the city with trips to San Nicolas (Museum of Industry & Baby Beach). There's lots more to do: enjoy the sand and surf at Eagle Beach, tour the pleasant surroundings at Mangel Halto Beach, see the interesting displays at National Archaeological Museum Aruba, and glide peacefully along the water with some of the best stand-up paddleboarding in the area.
