Boca Catalina is one of the best places to swim and snorkel in Aruba.  The beach is in a prestigious residential area, between Arashi Beach to the north and Malmok Beach to the south, just a few miles north of Aruba’s busy high-rise hotel area.  The beach faces west, offering stunning views of the southern Caribbean Sea.  It has a length of about 350 meters (1150 feet) and can get rocky in some spots. Small rock ledges near the shore can make it challenging to get into the water.  You’ll want to bring some water shoes to protect your feet. Besides that, Boca Catalina is a beautiful protected cove; the water is warm, crystal clear, with little swell, especially in the early morning when the winds and currents are calmer.  Its white sands are the icing on the cake.  While sunbathing, you may find some relief under the shade of nearby trees, but don’t be surprised if a lizard or two keeps you company.  Boca Catalina is a good place for families and kids as well.
