Feast Like an Aruban: Local Cuisine
A day in Aruba wouldn't be complete without savoring local cuisine. Try Keshi Yena, a traditional Aruban dish made from stuffed cheese, or enjoy fresh seafood at a beachside restaurant. Don't miss out on trying a glass of Coecoei, a red liquor unique to Aruba, and perfect for a beachside cocktail.
Wrapping Up: Souvenirs and Sail Away
As your day draws to a close, take a piece of Aruba home by shopping for souvenirs. Traditional Aruban crafts, Dutch cheese, or locally made aloe products make for perfect keepsakes or gifts.
