Hadicurari Beach, also called Fisherman's Huts or The Huts, is a rocky strip just past the Marriott on Aruba's Palm Beach side, and it is the island's most popular spot to learn and practice wind and kite surfing (Aruba Tourism Authority, read 7 November 2026). The water is very shallow and calm there, which makes it a favorite with local families who bring children.
Highlights
The wind and kite schools
Several schools operate from the beach, and paddle boarding and other non-motorized water sports are on offer too.
The huts
Island fishermen once lived here and built the small huts that gave the beach its name.
Aruba Hi-Winds
The largest windsurfing event in the Caribbean is held every year off these beaches, in June or July according to the tourism board's beach page.
Windsurfing champions
Aruban windsurfer Sarah-Quita Offringa, a multiple women's freestyle world champion, sometimes trains in these waters.

Tips
- Hadicurari is the choice for wind sports, not for a long sunbathing beach: the tourism board describes it as rocky and the main draw is the shallow, calm water and the schools. If you want soft white sand, go to Palm Beach or Eagle Beach. The board lists public parking and public transport as amenities, and prices and lesson lengths are set by each school, which the board does not publish, so ask the school before you book. The trade winds are almost always present and stronger from May to October, so those months suit the wind sports best (see Aruba in May and Aruba in July). Hotels in the area are on Palm Beach, and the hotel box on this page shows them.
How to get there
Hadicurari is on the Palm Beach side, past the Marriott, at coordinates 12.58556, -70.04613. The tourism board lists public parking and public transport; Arubus lines go along the hotel strip at $2.60 per trip, and a taxi between Palm Beach and Eagle Beach costs $16 (arubus.com and Visit Aruba, read 6 November 2026).
