The ship will tell you to go to Seven Mile Beach, which will be JAMMED with cruise ship passengers. We spent our honeymoon, MANY years ago <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Shocked.gif" alt="" /> at Manchebo Beach, and have visited several times since then. It is the widest beach on the island and it is where I personally would head. You might contact them and confirm what their cost is for renting chairs, as I have no idea, since we've only stayed there, not come on a ship. But if you want an uncrowded, lovely beach experience, that's where I would go.

Yes, Eagle Beach, in the "low rise" section, where Divi, Manchebo, Bucuti and other resorts are located is the widest and best beach area. Futher north, in the area of Amsterdam Manor, still on Eagle Beach, the beach is very nice as well. The hotel beach to the north, the "high rise" beach, Palm Beach, is more crowded and narrow. Nice, but not as nice as the low rise area.
Paradise is an island in the Caribbean!

Stopping in Aruba on a cruise next week for the day and want to spend the day on a beach. Beach needs to have chair/umbrella rental, food and drink. Any suggestions? Moomba Beach next to the Marriotts has everything your looking for if you want to be in the Palm Beach area. It is on a beautiful strip of beach with lots happening all around you. If you want quiet, go to Eagle Beach, which is also quite pretty, but I'm not as familiar with beach chair rental options there.

You may mean Palm Beach. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Blush.gif" alt="" />
