Top Beaches in the Caribbean: Our Picks of the Best Beaches in the Islands

If you like a beach with a lot of amenities and activities, Palm Beach is for you. This is Aruba's main resort area, a strand lined with high-rise hotels and bustling with vendors pitching boat tours, watersports rentals, and a variety of other amusements. Aruba's biggest shopping mall, the Palm Beach Plaze, is right across the street, with bars, shops, a food court, and a multiplex cinema. Still, the beach is wide and long enough that you can find some relative solitude if you need it, and TripAdvisor readers named Palm Beach their #3 beach destination in the world in 2011.
