Overview
About Aruba
Aruba is known for sunny, dry weather and white sand beaches, and for being located south of the main hurricane belt, so it tends to see fewer storms than much of the Caribbean.
Beyond the beach, the island has a rugged desert interior, good snorkeling and diving, and a strong food scene in and around Oranjestad.
