Beach, Fisherman Hut is located on Aruba’s northwest coast near Palm Beach. The
white sand beach leads into shallow water making it ideal for swimming. It is
also home to some of the best windsurfing on the island and hosts the annual
Hi-winds Pro-Am Windsurfing Competition. Therefore the beach can, at times, be
overrun with sports enthusiasts.
Other than windsurfing you
can also take part in a number of other sports such as kite surfing,
snorkelling, diving and jet skiing etc.
The whole of Aruba enjoys an average temperature
of 28°C. The island is made pleasantly cool throughout the year by constant

Other than the small shops
and mini malls offered by local hotels, there is little in the way of shopping
at Fishermans Hut. If you are looking for some serious shopping your best bet
is to take a short trip to either Oranjestad or Palm Beach.
The hotels along the
beachfront in Palm Beach tend to open their services and amenities to the
general public. It has also recently become an attractive shopping centre by
the recent opening of the Paseo Herencia Mall which includes numerous stores, a
movie theatre, restaurants and a cultural centre.
Fishermans Hut isn’t over
run with nightlife opportunities however, other than the entertainment laid on
by the resort hotels, there are the local centres of Oranjestad and Palm Beach
that can be explored.
Both areas have clubs,
bars and casinos as well as local entertainment on offer. If you want to see
several venues you can always join the Party Bus. Below are just a few options
available to you.
Aruba’s size means most of
