Boca Prins may be the most popular coastal feature within Aruba's Arikok National Park

The sandy beach area lies at the mouth of a wash downstream of Boca Dunes. This geological setting makes Boca Prins a scenically white sandy cove along a dramatic coastline that is mostly rocky cliffs.

The rocky cliffs standing over the beach makes a popular place to visit as the scenic blue water rushes into the cove here in mesmerizing waves and an easy flat walk from the parking area leads out above this channel of water. Just be careful walking near the edge.

A wooden staircase leads down to the beach itself, which fewer visitors venture down to. The white sand makes an ideal sunbathing location, however the rough currents lead to the posting of "No Swimming" signs throughout the park and should definitely be observed.

There are no bathrooms or water at Boca Prins, though both are located at the Fontein Cave parking area up the dirt road opposite the parking area.

Boca Prins is subject to all National Park rules, entry fees and open hours.
