Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stayed on the other side of island, where the water is flat, so this was a real treat (if you like waves). We actually came here twice because it was so beautiful The first time, there were only 2 other people on the beach. The next time (after Christmas), there were a few more people, but it was still fairly empty. The waves are pretty big and keep coming!! We were able to borrow boogie boards from the other beach goers on our first time there, which was amazing! The second time, we just body surfed. As others have mentioned, the ride from the Natural Bridge in a UTV can be pretty harrowing, but we got there twice. We saw regular cars, so we know that there must be another way there. It's definitely worth the trip.

I was not prepared for the dust, the off-road adventure, none of it, but so glad I did it. Richie, our tour guide, was patient with the group, funny and informative. The company, De Palm Tours, was very gracious enough to allow us to change our excursion at the last minute to this one and the moonlight cruise, and I’m so glad we did. My partner and I were also late because we were definitely on island time and missed the bus. Luckily another bus came to our resort and we didn’t have to take a cab and the group was nice enough to wait for us. I’ll be prepared for the next time. I just recommend purchasing or bringing water shoes and eye shields, because sunglasses can only do so much, cover your hair if you got it and wear long pants and long sleeves because sunscreen is not going to be enough. Also, make sure you’re comfortable driving off-road or bring someone who does. Again, it was well worth it, would absolutely do it again.

This beach is difficult to find, but worth the effort...we went there twice in three days and still got turned around getting there! The beach is often visited by off-road tours, but they seldom stay even long enough to swim...just take a few pictures. We were there on a Weekend day and a weekday and the number of people that routinely visit this wonderful beach is very small. There is no shade here except what is provided by the rock ledges, so people migrate here. We drove to the beach in the smallest rental car on the island, just drive carefully and dont try and drive all the way to the beach entrance since the sand gets very soft. We parked about 50 yards back and its an easy walk, even with our cooler, snorkeling equipment and towels. The water typically has some good wave activity, but in our experience, not a lot of strong current so we really enjoyed the swimming just beyond the wave break. The water is amazingly clear. I had a great time body surfing the waves and you can usually see people on boogie boards. There are no facilities at this beach. You can walk to this beach from the parking lot of the Natural Bridge, but with a little patience, you can find the road! This is our favorite beach on Aruba so far!

If you're looking for a place to body board or bodysurf, this is the best place on the island. I bodysurfed for a couple of hours, without fins, and had no problems. It's rough surf, and it will bash you around, but if you're a confident swimmer you'll be fine. Both days I went there were about a half dozen local kids body boarding. They didn't seem to mind me bodysurfing just behind them, but I was careful to stay out of their way. To get there, we parked in the Natural Bridge parking lot and walked over to Andicuri. About a fifteen minute walk over rocky terrain.

We also checked out Dos Playas, where the surf was too big for swimming (seriously, I'll swim just about anyplace that has big waves, but swimming here is impossible), and Grapefield, where there were too many rocks along the shore.

Made an unplanned stop at Andicuri Beach on our Natural Pool tour with ABC Tours. Only had about 20 minutes to spend, but this was by far our favorite beach. Nice waves and crystal clear water. Secluded and no amenities, but worth the visit.

We rented a jeep to get here. Worth every penny. Sandy bottom and huge waves. Found shade under the cliff. Spent the day here with beach chairs and cooler. Wish we had boogie boards! A few people stopped to look or rode around on ATVs. but didn’t stay. Water was so blue and clear. No facilities. Small old “shed” I suppose you could change in. Have lots of sunscreen and water.

This is a pretty beach that you absolutely need 4wd to get to. Out of all the beaches I explored in Aruba I'm not sure this is worth the drive out unless you are looking for pure solitude. The water is pretty rough at times so I wouldn't suggest swimming (I'm a competitive long distance open water swimmer).

Had a great time boogie boarding. However this beach has some large waves and strong currents. Not advised for weak swimmers or young children. However, beach area is quite large and the view is breathtaking.

Within sight of the Natural Bridge (or what's left of it), but you can't get here directly from there without either walking or the use of an ATV. But it is worth getting to ... one of the few spots on the north shore where the locals will swim (although, like anywhere on the north shore, swimming here should be considered dangerous and "at your own risk"), my wife's family spent many weekends picnicing and playing in the surf at Andicuri. We took 3 teenagers (all strong swimmers) to Aruba and Andicuri was easily one of their favorite places to play ... we returned several times. While 4WD isn't required in the strictest sense, have a 4WD jeep made the road in much more managable. And it's nothing more than a white strip of beach, so bring your own refreshments ...

We went there by car, it is a very bumpy dirt windy hilly road and does get a bit scary at times, but drive slow and watch for goats. The beach is so worth the drive. Again no huts, no facilities just beauty. The waves are constant but I'm handicapped and with my husband next to me had no problem riding the waves with no board. There was one other couple and us. Then a small tour group stopped for a swim. Pack a lunch, plenty of sunblock and enjoy!
