Druif Beach is a long, oval-shaped stretch of ivory sand in the Eagle Beach area, close to downtown Oranjestad but quieter, and joined to the neighbouring beaches to form a miles-long strip of white sand (Aruba Tourism Authority, read 7 November 2026). The water is relatively calm and clear, good for swimming and aqua jogging, and pelicans perch on poles in the shallows.
