Bars

CARLOS & CHARLIE'S
Weststraat 3A, Oranjestad, Aruba
Phone: 297/8-20355

At Carlos & Charlie's, you'll find Mexican fare; American music from the '60s, '70s, and '80s; and a mike-toting emcee.

CHETA'S BAR
Paradera 119, Paradera, Aruba
Phone: 297/8-23689

In business since 1948, Cheta's Bar is a local joint that holds no more than four customers at a time. There aren't any bar stools, either, which is why most patrons gather out front.

IGUANA JOE'S
Royal Plaza Mall, L. G. Smith Blvd. 94, Oranjestad, Aruba
Phone: 297/8-39373

Iguana Joe's has a creative reptilian-theme decor and a color scheme featuring such planter's-punch colors as lime and grape.

KUKOO KUNUKU
Phone: 297/8-62010

One uniquely Aruban institution is a psychedelically painted '57 Chevy bus called the Kukoo Kunuku. Weeknights you'll find as many as 40 passengers traveling between six bars from sundown to around midnight. The $55 fee per passenger includes dinner, drinks, and picking you up (and pouring you off) at your hotel.

MAMBO JAMBO
Royal Plaza Mall, 2nd floor, L. G. Smith Blvd. 94, Oranjestad, Aruba
Phone: 297/8-33632

With parrots painted on the ceiling, Mambo Jambo is daubed in sunset colors. Sip one of the special libations sold nowhere else.

PALMS BAR
Hyatt Regency Aruba Beach Resort & Casino, J. E. Irausquin Blvd. 85, Palm Beach, Aruba
Phone: 297/8-61234

Palm Beach
With front-row seats to view the green flash -- that ray of light that flicks through the sky as the sun sinks into the ocean -- the Palms Bar is the perfect spot to enjoy the sunset.

Beaches

EAGLE BEACH
Eagle Beach, Aruba
On the southwestern coast, across the highway from what is known as Time-Share Lane, Eagle Beach (more than a mile long).

MANCHEBO BEACH (PUNTA BRABO)
Manchebo Beach, Aruba
This impressively wide beach (also known as Punta Brabo) in front of the Manchebo Beach Resort is where officials turn a blind eye to the occasional top-free sunbathers.

PALM BEACH
This stretch of sand is the center of Aruban tourism, offering the best in swimming, sailing, and other water sports. It runs from the Wyndham Aruba Beach Resort to the Aruba Marriott Resort.
