You can take a taxi from Oranjestad to the beach for a fairly low rate, it is about a 15 minute ride. The beach has fine, white sand, perfect for lounging and relaxing. It's an active beach, but not overly crowded, we found plenty of room to lay out and relax. The water was pleasantly warm and the sun was hot (make sure you wear sunscreen and stay hydrated). This beach is home to several upscale resorts, so there are a plethora of watersports vendors looking for your business (since its a public beach, most of the vendors are not contracted with hotels, so they are less expensive). Feel free to bargain with the vendors, its expected, and you can usually get a much better rate, especially if you want more than one activity or rental (i.e. 3 people want to banana boat ride, or you want to participate in jetskiing, banana boating and parasailing).
