Boca Grandi

Boca Grandi Beach, San Nicolas, Aruba

About this spot

Boca Grandi is Aruba's rawest spot — a wide natural cove on the fully exposed southeast tip where Atlantic trades blast at 20 to 30 knots with nothing to stop them. Choppy water and half to one metre waves build inside the bay, with larger swells rolling beyond the reef. No facilities, no lifeguards, no crowds. If you want untamed Caribbean wind energy far from the resort scene, this is your spot.

Local tips

Bring everything: food, water, sunscreen. A 4x4 is strongly recommended for the access track. Strong currents make swimming very dangerous — stay on your board.
