Many Caribbean beaches have dangerous riptides and deep water. Aruba has the perfect solution with an idyllic beach that is both safe for kids and fun for adults: Baby Beach.
Baby Beach (officially Klein Lagoen) is known for its warm, shallow waters, making it perfect for families. It is carved in a half-moon shape and boasts breathtaking white sand.
The beach is in San Nicolas, a city celebrated for its rich culture that also caters to adults with craft stores, exquisite dining options, and colorful murals in the streets.
The shape of the lagoon ensures that the water within its shoreline remains warm and still. The water level is no higher than waist-deep, providing peace of mind for little ones.
Make use of the free palapas dotted around to get some shade. A roped-off area at the end of the bay is the perfect place for snorkeling beginners to try spotting fish.
