Our local and personal favorite Aruban Chinese Restaurant. I must admit, this is what my husband and I eat every Sunday after we come home from the beach. Beef of Chicken Cut small. But there menu is very big. So eat in or take out. But remember this is as local as it gets so you can eat on your flip flops. Enjoy.

WALKING on Eagle Beach area - here we have a bike & walk trail. Lot's of locals use this the exercise. You can use it all day every day. Just keep in mind at around 6, there are a lot of mosquitos. Enjoy. Crime- Crime on Aruba and in our neighborhood is extremely low. This does not mean nothing never happens, but nothing almost never happens.

This is an absolute must do, but remember go with old sneakers, beach shoes are crocks, NOT FLIP FLOPS !! Because Flip Flops are slippery when wet and the rocks are sharp. But aside of that this place is a gem.

Very calm and shallow water and the water is extremely blue. Kids friendly and with a bit of luck you will see some turtles in the shallow. We strongly recommend not to swim outside of the bay because although it looks beautiful the ocean is rough is not to play with. But that being said, you and your family will have a great day at this beach. They also sell good creole food at Big Mama Restaurant on the beach. Enjoy.
