Beach

Aruba's widest beach, and no towers behind it

The sea drilled the shells it is named after

Shallow turquoise water inside a sheltered bay

Five people live here

Named one of the world's best beaches in 2024

The sand was shipped in from the Caribbean

The sand squeaks under your feet

Art Deco in pastel lines the whole shore

Tiny shells turn this sand pink

They still build wooden boats on this sand

The towers start where the sand ends

Maya ruins stand at the end of the sand

You can only arrive by boat or by air

The beach got its old name back in 2010

Daily offerings are left out on the sand

Kitesurfers gave this beach its name

Shallow water runs out to the island reef

Four kilometres of sand inside a city

A black lava rock cuts into the sand

A reef offshore keeps the water flat

The shore here was never built up

The shore bends into a full crescent

The name simply means long island

An extinct volcano rises inside the reef

The beach that became The Beach

A named road runs beside an empty shore
