Palm Beach and Noord

The district of Noord is home to the strip of high-rise hotels and casinos that line Palm Beach. The hotels and restaurants, ranging from haute cuisine to fast food, are densely packed into a few miles running along the beachfront. When other areas of Aruba are shutting down for the night, this area is guaranteed to still be buzzing with activity. Here you can also find the beautiful St. Ann's Church, known for its ornate 19th-century altar. In this area, Aruban-style homes are scattered amid clusters of cacti.
