My mom and I just returned from Aruba this was my third trip her 10th + trip. We had a fabulous time as always. We go there to snorkel. We snorkeled from this little beach area in between Arashi and Boca Catalina it was in a residential area but we did fabulous snorkeling from there. While there both the Mi Dushi and the Jolly Pirates had groups there snorkeling. We saw so many fish and even an octopus. We can not find the name of this little area on any map. They all list Arashi and then the next beach as Malmok but we know that it was not Malmok. any ideas? Thanks.

Sounds like Malmok to me

Jen,
Going down for the 1st time with my family in August and this sounds like a really good spot.
Could you tell me how to get there from the Marriott?
Any tips on place to eat? Me , my wife & three sons ages 15, 18, 20.
Thanks.

has to be malmok

That beach sounds like Boca Catalina.

That area, that beach has a name:
BOCA CATALINA

It is considered Boca Catalina. It has like little tiki huts on the sand right? ..

Malmok is what I think you are referring to. Actually that entire strip of beach and the area where there are rocks is super for snnorkeling. Have fun.

You didn't happen to see my camera lying on the rocks did you. I left it there May 13th(missed it as we were going to the plane the 14th) and have been asking people to look for it ever since. I had taken pictures all over Aruba of my 91 year old mother, and they were in the camera. She is so disappointed. Judy

Sounds like the beach of death.
