Looking to go to the Bucuti for our honeymoon in September, but everyone keeps telling me Aruba is too windy?!? I had heard it was windy, but is it too windy to the point where you can't enjoy yourself while sitting on the beach?

you need to stay at a resort on Palm Beach if you have a strong aversion to a healthy trade wind.

It's not too windy to sit on the beach. It's a nice breeze, sometimes it does pick up and blow things around, but it's not too windy.

If it were too windy to enjoy the beach why would millions of tourists flock to Aruba?

The whole wind issue is highly overrated. I've been to Aruba several times and it's never bothered me or my companions, never been an issue.

Don't worry about it.

I guess some people just need something to complain about.

Enjoy & Congratulations!

Its not that windy at all! I would return in a heartbeat. Go to www.arubahouse.com and then to the general information sub-title. There you will find a comprehensive listing of the wind speed by month. You will be fine. Its windy but you won't be blown off the beach! Not even close. Also you will find many helpful links at that site about Aruba. Have a wonderful honeymoon and congratulations!

Thanks to all for the honest replies.

Another vote for, it's not too windy at all. It felt nice.

I love Aruba

If it wasn't for the wind, the heat might be too intense. The wind never bothered me. Enjoy!

I agree with Sue. There certainly is a breeze blowing, but I hate to think how humid it would have been without it!

It's not all that bad, and since it's more or less constant you get used to it quickly. Aruba's a great place.

We didn't think it was that windy. We called it a breeze which felt really good. Might make you forget the sun is beating down..so make sure you're well protected.
