Bachelor’s Beach sits on the southern coast near San Nicolas, close to the old refinery. It’s a small strip popular with locals who come to swim in the calm shallows. It has more of a community feel than a resort vibe.
Planes often fly low overhead as they approach the nearby airport, adding an unusual element for photos. The sight of a jet framed against the turquoise water is a unique “only in Aruba” shot.
