Relax and enjoy the sun at Boca Catalina, a tranquil bay that offers easy ocean access, making it perfect for swimming and snorkeling for all ages.
Known for its crystal-clear and calm waters, Boca Catalina is a hidden gem in Aruba, ideal for a quiet swim or a snorkeling adventure. This small, secluded bay in the Malmok Beach area features a pristine white sandy beach, accessible via steps from a nearby parking area.
Weekdays provide a peaceful experience, often leaving the bay nearly empty, while weekends bring a vibrant mix of local families and tourists. Boca Catalina has a few simple beach huts for shade, and the gentle entry into the ocean makes it an excellent spot for families and those seeking a relaxed beach atmosphere.
Just a short 5-minute drive from the high-rise hotels of Palm Beach, Boca Catalina is easily reached via the main road leading to the California Lighthouse, offering a convenient yet peaceful escape.
