All of Aruba's beaches are public, but chairs and palapas (shade huts) provided by resorts are the property of the hotels and for guest use only. If you use them at a hotel other than your own, expect to be charged.

Yes, all beaches in Aruba are public and free to use by law. This means you can visit world-famous spots like Eagle Beach, Palm Beach, and Arashi Beach without paying an entrance fee, regardless of whether you are staying at a luxury resort nearby. While the sand and water are free, the amenities often are not. Sun loungers and umbrellas located on the beach are typically the private property of the hotels and are reserved for their guests; however, many resorts will rent them to the public for a daily fee (usually $20–$50). You are also perfectly welcome to bring your own towel and sit anywhere on the sand. A minor exception is Renaissance Island (Flamingo Beach) and De Palm Island, which are private islands; to visit these, you must either be a guest of the Renaissance Wind Creek Resort or purchase a day pass, which includes transportation and amenities.
