Malmok Beach

in Aruba is a narrow sandy stretch that interrupts the limestone and rocky terrace along Malmok’s coast . Its shallow clear Caribbean waters make it a popular snorkeling spot in Aruba. Here you can stop with the Aqua Donut boat for a snorkel stop near the shoreline. Reefs and sunken wrecks nearby afford excellent diving in Aruba.
Malmok Beach is also the name of a residential area with sprawling homes and a variety of modest windsurfing residences in Aruba. The main road through the Malmok Beach area is leading to the famous California Lighthouse, Tierra del Sol 18-hole golf course, Arashi Beach and other Aruba landmarks and activities. During early morning and late afternoon hours the Malmok Beach road is a popular venue in Aruba for outdoor activities. Both locals and tourists hit the road biking and hiking for their daily workout.

Step 3

Boca Catalina on Aruba is a small, secluded bay in Malmok beach. The white sandy beach is accessible via stairs or of course with your own Aqua Donut Boat. A popular stop for snorkeling tours because of the variety of sea life located here, including palometas swimming near the shores, trunkfish and sergeant majors. When you venture a bit deeper into the sea you will see some big colorful fishes and corals, and don’t be surprised if you spot a turtle at Boca Catalina swimming in front of you. The crystal clear and calm water makes this the perfect location to make your private dive from your Aqua Donut Boat. Boca Catalina is a popular beach and attracts a fun mix of local families and tourists, especially during weekends.

Powder soft white sand

superb snorkeling in peaceful water and turtles! Do you need anything else? One of the northernmost beaches on the island. Most days the sea is very calm. The lagoon is safe to snorkel, not that deep. You will find colorful tropical fish like French Angelfish and Blue Striped Snappers. Also some hard corals, and plenty of soft corals, sea fans. The reef is the nicest on the right side of the beach, approx. 200 meters from shore. This area is recommended for advanced snorkelers. It could be difficult to navigate between the corals in the relatively shallow water, and swim back to the shore if there is any current. Turtles can be spotted on the left side of the bay, search for sea grass patches!
From the starting point without any stops, Arashi can be reached in 45 minutes.

We had an amazing time horseback riding along Macao Beach, feeling the sun and ocean breeze while our horses trotted through the sand. The scenery was stunning, though it would have been nice to have a bit more guidance for beginners like us.

I had an unforgettable experience riding along Macao Beach in Punta Cana, where the stunning scenery made every moment worthwhile. The horses were well-groomed and calm, which made the two-hour journey enjoyable, although I did wish for a bit more guidance on riding techniques at times. Overall, this adventure was a fantastic way to connect with nature while soaking in the beauty of the beach.

We were pleasantly surprised by the horseback riding experience, which offered a unique way to explore the coastal beauty. The ride along the shore was a highlight, though we wished the group size had been a bit smaller for a more personal touch.
