Boca Catalina, Sand beach in Noord, Aruba
Small secluded beach with white sand, clear water, and rock formations extends along the northwestern coast between Malmok and Arashi Beach.
The beach area contains remnants of German cargo ship Antilla, which sank during World War II and now serves as a marine habitat.
Local families and international visitors gather at makeshift beach huts during weekends for traditional Aruban seaside activities and social gatherings.
The beach lacks facilities but offers free parking spaces near the shoreline, requiring visitors to bring their own snorkeling equipment and supplies.
Morning snorkelers can observe large schools of tropical fish swimming through shallow waters near the limestone formations that protect the bay.
