Conchi (Natural Pool)
Fodor's choice
The natural pool, also known as Conchi, meaning “bowl,” was once a very secret spot due to its remote location, but today it’s frequently visited by tour groups. It’s worth the trip though—the scene of wild surf crashing over ancient black volcanic rocks into a placid aqua pool is epic, and the spray of the cold seawater shooting over the top upon you while you swim or snorkel is exhilarating.
You can also hike here on foot with Aruba Nature Adventures or drive your own 4x4 rental, but it's best to go with guides, as the roads are rough and steep. Bring water shoes with a good grip; the rocks at the entrance to the pool are very slippery. Listen closely to your guide when entering the pool for safety's sake.
