There are plenty of Aruba day trips, including boat rides along the coast, relaxing on world-class beaches, submarine rides and surprisingly arid, cactus-strewn ATV tours.
Known as "Low-Rise area" for its low-to-the-ground hotels and timeshare, northwestern Eagle Beach is one of the island's top shores by default.
Some vacationers like their water for swimming, not sporting. If this is you, ditch the "Low-Rise area" at Eagle Beach and try the more tranquil turquoise waters along Palm Beach.
