Ayo Rock Formations | A Girl Travels

I love everything about the beach – sand, sun, and refreshing ocean waves. What more could a Pisces girl ask for?

Any chance I have to hit the beach I’m there, especially if its for a celebration. Which is why I’m heading to Aruba for the first time for a joint birthday celebration for my best friend and I the 2nd week of March next year. We’ve already reserved a condo, sent out the invites, and are getting everything together for our big island celebration.

I’m really looking forward to discovering the island’s hidden gems, relaxing on it’s beautiful beaches, waterskiing, snorkeling, and lounging with a tropical drink in hand. Turquoise waters, kissed by the sun and cooled by constant trade winds,much of the seven-mile strip along the west coast is lined with resorts and packed with activity. And on the windward coast they have some amazing coves carved out of limestone and inlets to explore.

During the day it’ll be beaches and exploring – natural wonders throughout Arikok National Park, the Casibari and Ayo rock formations and Indian caves. And night we’ll be mingling with locals and tourists at beach parties and and pier bars that dot the southwest coast from downtown Oranjestad to the far end of the high-rise strip.

Whether you’re a foodie, the adventure type, or a beach bum, Aruba has everything at you want at your fingertips!

I can’t wait to sink my toes into warm sand, feel the sun on my skin, feel the water as the waves roll gently onto the sand, and to dine al fresco on the beach with an umbrella drink in hand. Caribbean beaches are truly paradise and I’m counting down the days to my trip to Aruba!
