See my review of Fly Fishing Aruba for my full report. I tried for two days to catch bone. I saw the largest one I've ever seen but was not successful catching any of those monsters. Had fun though and its a beautiful beach. More

I have regularly hiked up to Malmok from the Marriott or take a bus. It is a rustic setting with a combination of sandy beach stretches and rocky shelves. It is a regular stop for snorkel boats & fishermen. You can spend the day there & see very few people. I snorkel & fish from the shore at Malmok. It... More

This small beach is probably the best from the shore snorkeling venue on the Island, since all of the tours seem to end up here and snorkel from their boats. We came here twice during our stay, and the late morning was far less crowded than the afternoon when the a fore mentioned boats arrive. To get to the best... More

All of the beaches at the north end are great. When looking at a map it's hard to tell which beach is which. We enjoyed taking picutres at this beach but didn't hang out much because the water was really rough here on the days we visited. It's more rocky than the other beaches, but great to snorkel! More

I don't know much about snorkeling. But I had a great time here. Fish are so friendly, it seams they are saying hello to you. I saw a nice variety of fish. Very nice place. More

I attempted to snorkel here from the beach and wasn't successful. I would highly recommend Jolly Pirates because they take you to this area and you have a great experience snorkeling in Malmok from the boat. The people who work on Jolly Pirates are so much fun and you get food and drinks included. You stop at 3 different places... More

Beautifull and quite beach located close to some of Aruba's nicest houses. Not so many people as on other beaches on the island and chrystal clear water. BYO as there are no facilities down there. More

We traveled to Aruba in May 2011 and stayed at the RIU. Snorkeling is one of our favorite activities so we did quite a bit of beach hopping since there is no snorkeling at the RIU or on Palm/Eagle beach. We took the dePalm tours snorkeling excursion which took us to the ship wreck, Malmok and Boca Catalina beach. Malmok... More

The beach is tiny and irrelevant. There is some good snorkeling, but go early before the myriad rip-off tourist snorkeling boats get there, each dumping 20-50 unsuspecting people into a wasteland of broken coral that they could have waded to from the shore. If you have half a brain, and can swim a bit, you'll see from the coastline where... More
