Aruba's sun is strong, the trade winds are constant, and the free shade disappears early. Here is how shade on the beach really works, and the easiest way to have it waiting for you.
Natural shade: palapas and trees
The thatched palapas on Eagle Beach and Palm Beach are free, and they are the first thing everyone wants. They are also first come, first served. Guests regularly find towels left on a palapa as early as 5 AM to claim it, and by mid-morning every one is taken. The few shade trees along the sand fill up just as fast, and the shade moves with the sun.
Check dates and book your umbrella
Pick Eagle Beach or Palm Beach, choose your dates and book in a couple of minutes. Your set waits under your name from 10 AM.
Bringing your own umbrella or tent
Many visitors pack a pop-up tent or buy an umbrella on arrival. It sounds easy, but the trade winds make it harder than it looks. Tents and thin umbrellas need to be anchored deep, they can tip or fly off in a gust, and then you carry the whole kit through the airport, the car and the sand. On a short trip that is a lot of effort for one beach day.
The easier way: your umbrella is already set up
With Palapa Aruba there is nothing to carry, assemble or defend. Your beach umbrella and two chairs are set up on the beach in your name before you arrive. You walk down, find your spot, and sit in the shade from 10 AM to 4 PM.
