Aruba
The Carribean is full of fun, excitement, and romance and Aruba is one of the best places to visit when going to the Carribean. It also has the highest rating of repeat visitors anywhere in the Carribean. The island is very popular because of the way the natives make the tourists feel. They make sure that anyone who comes to visit is comfortable and enjoys every moment.
The southern, leeward coast is lined with beautiful, sparkling white sand and is commonly known as the Turquoise Coast for the colorful tint of the water. There are many secluded sections of private beach or more popular strips by the hotels. Baby Beach down at the eastern tip is a natural wading pool that is perfect for families with small children. The northern coast is more rugged and windswept and can be dangerous for swimming.
As with every place that you visit, Aruba has many activities for you to do while at this beautiful island. Deep-sea fishing and windsurfing are some of the more popular activites. Boats can be chartered to fish when deep-sea fishing for sailfish, marlin, tuna, bonito and wahoo or just to go out watching for dolphins off the coast of Savaneta. The international White Marlin Competition is held in Aruba each October.
The very shape of the Divi-divi tree is poetic testimony to the patient consistency of Aruba’s cooling trade winds. So is the fact that Aruba is host to the annual Hi-Winds Windsurfing Pro-Am Grand Prix World Cup Tournament, an event that requires a good bit of wind just to announce.
Aruba’s fame as a windsurfing destination has attracted some of the most skilled competitors, and instructors, in the world. Novices can take advantage of the gentler winds and abundance of equipment and instructors along the island’s southern shore, and advanced students and experts have a choice of any number of prime locations along the northern and southeastern coasts. Aruba has earned the name of the Windsurfing Capital of the World.
There are many comfortable, charming and exciting nightspots in Aruba with dancing, entertainment, and lively action-filled casinos. Most of the hotels have their own special night of entertainment. Tropical nights, beach barbecues and cocktail parties are always available. Attractions at the hotels and nightclubs feature water ballet, international entertainers, fashion shows, local dance groups, limbo and fire dances, steelbands, discos and the pulsating beat of local bands.
The action in the casinos is constant and the atmosphere charged with excitement and expectation. There are many relaxing activities for those who prefer a slower paced evening; a tropical drink on a moonlit patio under a star studded sky, a quiet stroll on a peaceful beach or dinner in a quiet restaurant.
