Eagle Beach, also called Arend Beach, is a beach and neighborhood of Oranjestad on Aruba's southwest coast. It is the widest beach on the island, with soft white sand that runs for a long way along the shore and sits in front of low-rise hotels.

A visit is simple. Walk out past the rentable chairs and the palapas, find a spot under the fofoti trees, and spend the day swimming, sunbathing or eating at one of the beach bars. Leatherback turtles nest here, so the fenced nests are a reminder to keep your distance. Sunset from the beach bars is a nightly favorite.

• Bring a cooler if you want to pack your own food and drinks. Visitors are welcome to sit under the palm trees with one.
• Leatherback nests are fenced with red and white barriers. Stay outside the fenced areas and keep your distance from the nests.
• Beach bars and fine dining sit along the sand, so you can eat without leaving the beach.
• Sunset is the main event here. Beach bars along the sand are a good place to watch the sun go down over the water.
