About
Renowned for its iconic Fofoti trees, this pristine beach beckons a trip. There are low-rise hotels and beach resorts lining the shores, but the beach is mostly quiet. The waters are also relatively calm in the designated swimming zones. Boat tours and water activities like snorkeling and jet skiing are popular here as well. If you're lucky, you may even spot turtles nesting or hatching on the shore between March and September. Eagle Beach is also a popular wedding photoshoot location—many newlyweds come to snap their wedding photos against the blissful Caribbean waters. – Tripadvisor

    Exceptional
    Natural beauty of the beach, the unbelievable aqua colors of the water and the welcoming nature of the people in Aruba. We stayed at the Costa Linda resort. It was exceptionally clean, well maintained and very friendly. We had a great massage while we were there as well. Would highly recommend a vacation in Aruba!

    Nice!
    Very nice beach. Big! Right in the heart of hotel row. Cabanas available to rent. Small walk-up grill to eat/get drinks at. Consistently busy: Some cigarette butts & beer caps in the sand. Great water, clear & good waves to play in.

    Beautiful but expensive
    Amazing beach, white sand and clear blue water, what the Caribbean is famous for. We arrived off the cruise ship and local prices on loungers and umbrellas suddenly shot up, expect to pay up to $50 for a couple, unless you are happy to lie down under a tree. Also, no snorkelling on this beach. A bottle of beer $9 in a beach bar, wifi is available.

    Aruba the island with beautiful beaches.
    Eagle Beach is a beautiful sandy beach. Beautiful contrast of the white sand and the blue sea water. The beauty of Aruba is that the government has decided by law that all beaches belong to the people. Everyone is allowed on every beach, even the beaches at the most expensive Hotels.

    Relaxing
    Clean beach. Water was refreshing. The security guy Ervin was great and made sure we were taking care of. The women who collect the money for the chairs were not as pleasant or communicative. It took us a very long time to get our change back

    Great beach day from cruise
    Loved this beautiful beach! Aruba was a stop on a cruise for us. Instead of booking an expensive shore excursion we took a public bus (clean, free wifi and just $5 round trip!) to Eagle Beach. The water was gorgeous and we throughly enjoyed a wonderful beach day. Can’t wait to go back!

    Lovely beach with white sands and marked off swimming areas. Need to arrive early to get a Palapa for shade. The sun is strong so use lots of reef safe suntan lotion. Chairs are available to rent.

    Eagle beach review
    Stayed at an AirBnB very close to eagle beach. Very nice beach- beautiful water, fine sand and not too busy. Wife and I walked on the paved walkway near road in AM and hit the beach later in day. Head south away from eagle and palm beach for even more seclusion.

Sunny, cool breeze, crystal clear water, powdery sand. Just like a movie! People were friendly. Beach was clean. Just the relaxing experience we were hoping for to get a break from the New England snow.

We took City bus to Eagle Beach. It’s an easy walk from the cruise port. We were on a carnival ship. This was our first time walking to the bus station and using it to go anywhere. This beach was one of the first stops. The sand is really soft here and we didn’t need water shoes. There is no racks when you’re walking in to the water although there is a pretty big drop off in the sand to get down from where your chairs are to the water the day we were there, the waves were strong And we still enjoyed the water but it helped to have a floaty to hang onto. The temperature of the water was wonderful in January and there was no seagrass. We rented a lounge chair for $10. There were also restaurants where you could order drinks or food although we did not partake in that. The bus stop is right next to one of the restaurants , and easy to find when you’re ready to go back to the port area. This was a really good day for a very reasonable price!

While cruising to Aruba, our group went to Eagle Beach. as it came highly recommended.
Now, you may think, well everyone from the cruise will be here and the place will be packed. True, a lot of people from your cruise ship will be here but, the beach is huge. There is a lot of room to spread out.

On the downside, umbrellas run out quickly (never understood this, don't you want to keep a big supply of umbrellas and make money?). So, if you don't get there early, you will have to camp under one of the trees that puts you not close to the water.
Second down side, limited facilities. Two Port-o-potties and a single occupancy men's room and ladies room, do not facilities make.

Overall, this is an excellent beach to go to from the cruise. Could use a little more but still worth the visit.

The most beautiful beach in the Caribbean, bar none. However, they have a serious sewer issue here and it smells terrible. Aruba needs to step up and correct the over development and insufficient infrastructure. Its really an issue, not occasional, consistent.

The beach kept going and going.
It was exceptionally clean.
Plenty of restaurants nearby.
The water was beautiful and inviting.
The nearby bar was fun and active with an outside shower to wash the sand off.

Nestled along the serene shores of Aruba lies the pristine paradise of Eagle Beach, a tranquil oasis that stands in stark contrast to the bustling energy of Palm Beach. Having experienced both, I can confidently attest to the incomparable beauty and serenity that Eagle Beach offers, making it a standout destination for those seeking peace and relaxation.

Unlike its counterpart, Palm Beach, which is often crowded with noise and commotion, Eagle Beach exudes a sense of calm and tranquility. Here, the gentle waves lapping against the shore provide a soothing soundtrack, creating the perfect atmosphere for unwinding and rejuvenation.

Moreover, the atmosphere at Eagle Beach is one of natural splendor and unspoiled beauty. With its pristine white sands and crystal-clear waters, it's easy to see why Eagle Beach consistently ranks among the top beaches in the world. Whether you're strolling along the shoreline, basking in the sun, or simply taking in the breathtaking views, every moment spent at Eagle Beach feels like a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Additionally, the ambiance at Eagle Beach is far more laid-back and peaceful compared to Palm Beach. Here, you won't find the crowds or noise that often accompany tourist-heavy areas, allowing for a more intimate and authentic beach experience.

In conclusion, while both Palm Beach and Eagle Beach have their own unique charms, it is Eagle Beach that truly stands out as a haven of tranquility and natural beauty. For those seeking a peaceful retreat away from the crowds and noise, Eagle Beach is the perfect destination.

Already purchased our room for next January. Aruba is beautiful, friendly, and adventurous, with some of the finest dining. Beaches are georgious with soft, cool, white sand. The breeze keeps the feeling of humidity way down. No hairspray! Let the salt air give your hair the body and natural look it needs! We felt very safe to explore the island. The residents and natives are the nicest people we've experienced anywhere. The beaches and resorts are first class!
