Arashi is a broad, easygoing beach near Aruba's northwestern tip. Clear water, a sandy entry and nearby reef life make it a favourite for snorkelling, while the open western view is excellent at sunset.

Beach safety
Swimming and shore snorkelling can be enjoyable in settled conditions. Check waves and visibility before entering, avoid rocky sections if the entry is difficult, and snorkel with a buddy.
Do not assume lifeguards are present. Check for current warnings, swim with a buddy where swimming is appropriate, and keep young children within arm’s reach. If conditions are uncertain, stay out of the water.
Parking & access
A parking area close to the beach is confirmed by the Aruba Tourism Authority. Spaces and shade can fill; check signs on arrival. Current parking charges and accessibility arrangements have not been verified.
Lock the vehicle, keep valuables out of sight, and leave emergency access, driveways, dunes and beach vegetation clear. A beach map pin marks the destination, not necessarily an authorised parking entrance.
