What it's like

Baby Beach is officially called Klein Lagoen. It is a shallow, sheltered lagoon on the southeast end of Aruba, in the Mangle Cora area near the village of Seroe Colorado. People are drawn to it because the water is so calm that very small children can safely play in it.

A visit is simple. You find a spot on the small sand strip, rent a chair or umbrella if you want one, and wade or snorkel near the inlet, where most of the fish gather.

Good to know

Four-wheel-drive cars for driving around the beach are available to rent here.
Baby Beach is not a nude beach, and public nudity is illegal on Aruba.
Some unmarked bus-only roads have deep pits designed to trap normal cars, so watch the road signs.
Rodgers Beach sits next to Baby Beach and is quieter, with a local feel and fewer crowds.
