When you’re looking to swap out chilly temperatures for warm weather fun this year, Aruba is the place to set your sights for a Halloween away! Whether you’re looking to hold onto summer fun or enjoy spooky and savory moments in equal measure, there’s something for everyone looking to celebrate Halloween in Aruba.
The Weather Is Just Right for Outdoor Fun
It’s fair to say that Aruba is an appealing place to visit weather-wise any time of year you plan to travel this way. That said, a Halloween visit promises to be refreshingly mild. Because the island of Aruba lies in the south of the Caribbean, it enjoys a location below the hurricane belt. This makes it much easier to plan an end-of-October getaway without having to worry about seasonal and regional storms. While visitors who make their way to Aruba over Halloween might encounter some rainfall, you can also count on plenty of sun and breeze. This means it’s an idyllic time of year to get out on the water and enjoy a chartered sailing or fishing experience if you choose to. There’s also no reason you can’t make the most of shoreline fun when time on the sand is what you’re most looking forward to this time of year. Head over to Palm Beach for a vibrant and exciting day near restaurants and shops with just as many opportunities to dig your toes in and watch the waves roll. Eagle Beach is another great option when you’re looking to stretch out and enjoy the sunshine while Arashi Beach is a popular option among those who are excited to take their Halloween adventures below the waves and explore nearby shipwrecks and captivating coral reefs.
Make Time to See a Haunted Island Destination for Yourself
Aruba is an island where travelers come to embrace the very best life has to offer, but over Halloween, you can also embrace the idea that the island hosts its own haunted locales as well! Frenchman’s Pass is frequently pointed to by paranormal enthusiasts as one of the most haunted destinations across Aruba and those looking for a spooky experience to celebrate the season would do well to head this way at least once during their stay. Frenchman’s Pass is found between the Spanish Lagoon coral cliffs. You’ll traverse a narrow passageway to find this location which offers up views of the Balashi Golf Mill ruins. As legend has it, Frenchman’s Pass served as the location of a French invasion in the early 17th century. It was an invasion that decimated the island’s local tribes and many members perished within local caves as the French set smoke traps to draw them out. The story goes that today, these caves are still haunted by the restless spirits of tribal members whose lives were cut short during the invasion. Reports of crying noises as well as orbs of light are regularly reported by those who are out exploring the area around the lagoon. Wondering if there’s anything to the rumors? Halloween is the time to go check it out for yourself!
