Eagle Beach Parking: Your Gateway to Paradise
Convenient parking for Aruba's world-famous Eagle Beach, offering soft sands, clear waters, and unforgettable sunsets.
The Eagle Beach Parking Lot serves as the primary access point to one of Aruba's most stunning and highly-rated beaches. Eagle Beach is famous for its wide expanse of powdery white sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and iconic Divi Divi trees. Consistently ranked among the world's best beaches, it offers a serene and picturesque setting for relaxation and recreation. The parking lot itself is spacious, accommodating a significant number of vehicles, making it easier for visitors to find a spot even during peak seasons. From the parking area, a short walk leads directly to the beach, where visitors can enjoy swimming, sunbathing, and various water sports. Eagle Beach is also a nesting area for leatherback turtles, with certain sections sometimes closed off between March and July to protect the nesting sites. Eagle Beach's history extends beyond its natural beauty. During World War II, the nearby Eagle Refinery played a crucial role, though it also became a target of Nazi Germany. In February 1942, the area saw the tragic loss of life when marines were dismantling a torpedo on the beach. Today, the Eagle History Tour helps to commemorate these events.
