Baby Beach, Aruba

Baby Beach is a shallow, sheltered man-made lagoon on the southeast end of the island of Aruba frequented by locals and tourists alike. The snorkeling at this location is great for kids or travelers new to snorkeling. However, for more experienced snorkelers, it is recommended to try at Malmonk or Arashi Beach.

The benefits of this beach include the lack of waves and that nearby waters are shallow enough to stand. The water in the deeper areas, as well as around the rest of Aruba, is cool and refreshing year-round.

The water level is generally waist high on the inside, but towards the inlet, it deepens significantly. Marine life includes Barracuda, squid, parrot fish, blowfish, angel fish, eels, snakes and a lot of other small fish, although the range of most of these animals is limited to the inlet.

At the beach there is a small snack stand, and lawn chairs and umbrellas for rent. Four-wheel drive cars are also available for rent in which to ride around the beach.
