Why go
Choose this route for Aruba’s rougher north-coast scenery rather than a swimming day. Start at the Natural Bridge and Baby Bridge area, where the collapsed span and smaller surviving arch set the geological theme. Use a suitable four-wheel-drive vehicle or a guided off-road outing for the dirt-road links to Andicuri Beach and Blackstone Beach; these are separate visits, not one continuous shore walk. From Blackstone, take a short, careful walk to a stable view of nearby Tripod Bridge. Allow extra time for rough ground, wind and sun. Stay back from breaking waves and unstable edges, and do not drive on the beach.
