Areas of Oranjestad

I just love how the big waves crash on the rocks and make a beautiful backdrop with the tree. The sky was a gorgeous grey on this day.

Punto de Oro

1/5(1 area review)

Punto de Oro might not have many top sights, but Aruba Town Hall and Renaissance Mall Aruba are two attractions nearby that you can check out.

It is a very nice and quiet beach but also with entertainment because of the many kite surfers passing by. It is still a great spot to swim even though it is on the north shore with big waves but they do not get all the way to the shore. The waters are crystal #blue and the sand is a bit of pink. The entrance is a bit hidden by the Grapefield dunes.

Paradijswijk
