Andicuri Beach is a sandy cove on Aruba's windward east coast, just south of the collapsed Natural Bridge, where dramatic bluffs and coral-stone cliffs enclose a wide bay (Aruba Tourism Authority, read 7 November 2026). It is a place for scenery, bodyboarding and quiet; the tourism board says experienced swimmers can enter the water but must be aware of currents.
Highlights
The cove and the bluffs
The wide bay is enclosed by cliffs, with some shade in places.
The waves
Bodyboarders come for the stronger surf, and local bodyboarding competitions are held here.
Black Stone Beach and the triple bridge
Further along the dirt road are Black Stone Beach and a limestone natural bridge with three arches.
Quiet
Locals come here for peace and quiet, compared with the busier Eagle and Palm Beach.
Practical info
Tips
- There are no food or drink facilities at Andicuri, so bring your own picnic and take your rubbish with you; the board asks visitors to leave the beach clean. Driving on the sand and barbecuing are prohibited. The board does not say whether a 4x4 is needed, lists no hours, fees, restrooms or lifeguards, and warns only about currents, so ask your tour operator or your rental company about the road before you go. For a swim, choose a calmer beach such as Eagle Beach, or swim in the Natural Pool only when the sea is calm (see Aruba's Natural Pool). A jeep tour is the easy way to see this coast without driving yourself: the Signature Natural Pool and Baby Beach jeep tour by Fofoti on Viator is rated 4.9 out of 5 from 1,727 reviews (read 7 November 2026). It covers the same windward coast, but it is not a visit to Andicuri, so check the itinerary.
