Powdery white beaches, turquoise waters, colorful culture and dazzling nightlife all make Aruba one of the Caribbean’s top vacation destinations. Aruba is divided into the northeast and southwest coasts. The southwest has the white sand beaches, turquoise seas, and warm waters. The northeast coast, exposed to the Atlantic, has a few white sand beaches, cacti, rough seas with treacherous currents, and a rocky coastline.
