The next stop on our all day Jeep Tour with ABC was Baby Beach. This was the best place by far we found to snorkel! Strangely enough, right next to the oil refinery!
There were quite a few folks there, but it wasn't overly crowded. The water was calm, little wave action and most parts were less than 10-15 feet deep. The water was the clearest we had seen the whole trip and what we imagined Aruba would be like!
I found this pretty blue colored species of coral! I didn't know coral could be blue!
Then I started to chase all the little fishies!
As did everyone else!
And then I came face to face with a spotted trunk fish! How cool! I had never seen one before and their shape is just....odd! Click on the photo to enlarge, but the back end is like a normal fish! I think in some other shots, there are more trunk fish at different angles.
Ah, near the bottom is the side view of the trunk fish, it doesn't look quite as odd from the side!
Swam right into a huge school of Sargent Major's!
All too soon we were summoned to come ashore. Time to load back into the Jeeps and get some lunch back by Arikok. The sign at the road announced "Best Pizza". Ironically we had chicken legs, ribs, rice and beans!
