You can find it on the northern side of downtown Oranjestad, the capital of the island. The walk to Lloyd G. Smith Boulevard will take five to ten minutes, depending on which of the four docks your cruise ship is docked. Oranjestad offers everything you need if you want to go on a shopping spree. Walk from the Lloyd G. Smith Boulevard all the way to the Renaissance Marketplace. Check out all the local goods and souvenirs that are for sale at the shops and market stalls. Follow the tram tracks to Havenstraat, Schelpstraat, and Main Street. These streets are sometimes forgotten, which is a shame because you can find some lovely shops and boutiques here. They run parallel to the boulevard and are within walking distance from the Aruba cruise ship port. Surfside Beach is a smaller beach that is the closest to the Aruba cruise port. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to this sandy beach. Eagle Beach is located west of Oranjestad. It is recommended to take a taxi or public bus to Eagle Beach. It isn’t far - just a ten-minute drive - but walking may take some time. Time that you could be spending on a sunbed or swimming, which is preferable over walking if you ask us! There are lots to do at Eagle Beach: water activities, sunbathing, swimming, beach bars, and fine dining. Palm Beach is located north of Eagle Beach. It is a little further, but definitely worth a visit. Just like Eagle Beach, Palm Beach is full of great restaurants and beach bars. Palm Beach is easy to reach by Arubus or taxi. The famous Divi Divi (Watapana) tree is Aruba's natural compass, always pointing in a southwestern direction due to the trade winds that blow across the island from the north-east. Aruba's trademark: the Divi Divi or Watapana tree.
