On the southwestern coast, across the highway from what is quickly becoming known as Time-Share Lane, is one of the Caribbean's—if not the world's—best beaches. Not long ago it was a nearly deserted stretch of pristine sand dotted with the occasional thatched picnic hut. Now that the resorts have been completed, this mile-plus-long beach is always hopping. When other Caribbean beaches eroded after Hurricane Ivan in 2004, Eagle Beach actually became several feet wider.

Aruba is a great place to Visit. We liked Manchibo Beach the best but Eagle is very nice

Although the weather in Aruba is great, you are better off renting a car and driving to a less crowded beach. At Eagle Beach, if you don't get there by 7 AM you don't get a lounge chair or palapa. That is not my idea of a vacation. And one day at 1:30 PM we found a palapa that was unoccupied and had been unoccupied for 2 hours so we moved our lounge chairs under it. About a half hour later, a couple came back and claimed that that was their palapa. They were very rude about it. No thanks.
