Shallow water
Like a pool.

Baby Beach is a white-sand beach at the south-eastern tip of Aruba near the town of San Nicolas, about 4 km in a straight line south-east of it. It is a shallow, half-moon bay sheltered from the waves by a rock breakwater, so the water stays as calm as a pool. It takes its name from its shallow, gentle water, ideal for small children: you can wade a long way out with the water no higher than your waist across most of the bay. The water is clear turquoise, deepening to blue at the rocky edge where the open sea begins. People come for easy swimming and for snorkelling near the rocks, where colourful fish can be seen. Thatched shades and food and drink stalls stand on the beach, and it is quieter than the west-coast beaches, being far from the big hotel areas. The beach is public and free. Do not go beyond the breakwater into the open sea, where currents are strong; bring sun cream, and mornings are calmest before visitors arrive.
