Eagle Beach, Beach and settlement on western coast in Aruba

Eagle Beach, also called Arend Beach, is a wide public beach and neighbourhood in Oranjestad, Aruba. It is the widest beach on the island, with soft white sand, and is lined with many low-rise resorts.

Eagle Beach is also called Arend Beach and gives its name to the neighbourhood of Oranjestad where it lies. The sources record no eagle-cactus etymology; the name is simply the English name of the beach and district. The neighbourhood grew around low-rise resorts beside the wide public beach, which is the widest on Aruba.

The name Eagle Beach is also rendered Arend Beach, and the neighbourhood behind the sand is known for its low-rise resorts rather than high towers. The wide public beach is the setting for that resort strip, so visitors pass between hotel grounds and open sand along the same shoreline.

Eagle Beach is the widest beach in Aruba, with soft white sand and several public access points along the coastal road. The beach is not nudist; public nudity is illegal in Aruba, though topless sunbathing is tolerated on resort beaches but not within resort grounds. Renaissance Island and De Palm Island have adult beach areas where nude sunbathing and swimming are permitted.

Eagle Beach is the widest beach in Aruba, with soft white sand, and has been rated one of the best beaches in the world. It is not a nude beach: public nudity is illegal in Aruba, and topless sunbathing is allowed only on the resort-area beach, not inside the resorts. The island's designated adult beach areas are on Renaissance Island and De Palm Island.
