Big Mama Grill Aruba: a great beach shack near Baby Beach

Beach food and feet in the sand at Big Mama Grill Aruba

An afternoon of chilling at Baby Beach in Aruba is highly recommended. For lunch, dine at Big Mama   Grill your beach-style lunch. Read: a hamburger or something else from the fryer. And let's be honest, that tastes great after a day at the beach. Aruba And swimming in the sea is always incredibly enjoyable. Perfect with an ice-cold beer, or my guilty pleasure, a cola. Big Mama Grill has a relaxed atmosphere. Bob Marley is blasting from the speakers, and as far as I'm concerned, the beach vibe is simply fantastic.

Tip: If you're looking for a slightly less crowded beach than Baby Beach, then Rodger's Beach, located next door, is highly recommended!
