Boca Prins sits inside Arikok National Park and is best known for its dramatic dunes and strong surf. Swimming isn’t safe here, but the setting is unforgettable, with cliffs framing a restless stretch of sea. It’s one of the wilder corners of Aruba.
From the overlook above, the waves roll in with a rhythmic crash that makes for an incredible slow-motion or time-lapse shot. Photographers love the contrast of white surf against the deep blue water and pale sand dunes behind.
