Creator's Key Takeaways

This is my second time here on a cruise and hands down it is my favorite Caribbean island.

It is so beautiful and it's easy and might add relatively inexpensive to get around.

Eagle Beach is the most popular tourist beach in Aruba. Known for its stunning white sand and turquoise waters.

What a beautiful view. So relaxing.

Purchase a $5 bus card for roundtrip rides to Eagle Beach.
Bring cash (US currency accepted) for the bus card purchase.
Visit the bus ticket office before 1:30 p.m. for hours.
Use the complimentary trolley in the morning before 1:00 p.m.
Mention your desired beach to the bus driver when boarding.
