I heard the northern coast of aruba is too rough and shark infested to swim in. (from a bar owner in aruba) we hung out near the pier, looked loudly for Natalie Holloway in the tourist malls, and went to the casino visible from the dock...penny slots and free drinks, good air conditioning....Curaco had a great market within walking distance of the pier, best island for wooden crafts. We did a great snorkel excursion with a sunken tugboat, very nice even though seas were choppy everywhere else that day.
