About this place

Bushiri Beach is a public coastal recreation area near Oranjestad with an open sandy shoreline and space for beach activities, walking and major outdoor events. The former Bushiri Beach Hotel was demolished, opening the area for renewed recreational use and long-term shoreline improvements. Its location between downtown Oranjestad and Aruba’s resort areas makes it a convenient coastal stop for visitors exploring the western side of the capital.

The beach is especially well known as the home of the Aruba Open Beach Tennis Championships, an international tournament that transforms Bushiri into a large sporting venue each November. Government and tourism authorities have also continued investing in the surrounding shoreline, including work involving the parking area, cycling path and sports infrastructure.
