Eagle Beach has been selected as the world's 50 best beach by 600 travel professionals

Lounge under bamboo huts on the shores of Eagle Beach in Aruba. You’ll often feel you have your own corner of paradise to yourself — the only footsteps in the sand are yours for miles, while the only sound is the gentle crashing of the waves and whistling breeze.

Closer to the water, lounge in the silk sands and picnic — or dive in for some world-class snorkeling. Home to the landmark “Divi Divi Tree,” a tangled icon of natural wonder in the midst of the soft sandy shore, it’s a wonderland of surprising views and powdered sugar sands. If you are visiting in the summer, keep your eye out for the magic of turtle hatching.
