Flamingo Beach Aruba: sooooo cute!

Sunbathing among the pink birds at Flamingo Beach Aruba

Anyone who is preparing for a holiday in Aruba and, for example, looks at Pinterest  Photos quickly reveal THE flamingos. My first reaction: I want to go there too! What turns out? Flamingos don't even occur in the wild. Aruba (Well, my dear guide Jasmine tells me it happened on Bonaire.) The flamingos you see in all the photos are sitting on Flamingo Beach.

Flamingo beach is the private beach of the Renaissance hotel On Aruba. I hear you thinking… private beach? No worries! You don't have to stay at the hotel to relax here for a day. You can buy a day pass at the hotel and then be taken to the island by speedboat.
I can't resist taking a selfie with the flamingos!
Once you arrive, all you have to do is relax and unwind. Swim a bit, put your feet in the sand, read a magazine. Until you're startled by loud laughter. It's time for the flamingos to stroll along the beach. They do this almost every hour! It looks so beautiful, especially with the low sun and its sparkle on the water.

I can't resist taking a selfie with the flamingos! Sometimes, those kinds of cheesy things just have to be allowed :-).
