4. Mangel Halto Beach
Located on the southwest coast of Aruba, Mangel Halto Beach is one of the island’s most secluded and adventurous beaches. The large mangroves here that the beach is named after create incredible underwater scenery. Naturally, Mangel Halto is frequented by shore divers and snorkeling enthusiasts who seek to witness its astonishingly rich marine life. Coral reefs, parrot fish, sponges, anemones and octopi will make a diving excursion definitely worth your while.
The beach’s shallow waters allow visitors to walk all the way to the edge of the reef before gearing up and diving in the crystal-clear water. A wooden sun deck stretching from the rocks at the side of the bay is used as the starting point for kayaks and stand-up paddleboarders.
