The Relaxation Specialist: Aruba
En español | You’re spoiled for choice when it comes to a day at the beach in the Caribbean; most islands there boast super stretches of sand. But for calm waters and reliably sunny days (the most in the Caribbean, the tourist board claims), it’s hard to beat Aruba. The Dutch island is home to picturesque, powder-white Palm and Eagle beaches, as well as the aptly named Baby Beach, lapped by calm and shallow waters that welcome even the most timid bather. Aruba, which lies outside the hurricane belt and receives very little rainfall, is popular with the 50+ crowd.
