What time does the sun set in Aruba?

Between about 6:00pm in December and 7:15pm in June/July, since Aruba is close enough to the equator that sunset barely shifts across the year. Check the live clock at the top of this page for tonight's exact time.

What is the best place in Aruba to watch the sunset?

Eagle Beach is the most popular for its iconic divi-divi trees, but California Lighthouse gives you the widest, highest view, and a sunset sailing cruise removes the horizon entirely.

Does Aruba have good sunsets year-round?

Yes. With over 300 sunny days a year and a location outside the hurricane belt, Aruba has fewer cloud-outs than most Caribbean islands, so sunset quality stays fairly consistent in every season.

How long does a sunset last in Aruba?

Around 20 to 25 minutes from when the sun touches the horizon to full dusk. It's faster than sunsets at higher latitudes, because the sun drops almost straight down rather than at a shallow angle.

Do I need a permit to photograph the sunset in Aruba?

No permit is needed for personal photography on public beaches. Commercial shoots (paid photo sessions, brand shoots) may require a permit. Check with the Aruba Tourism Authority if you're shooting professionally.
