Frenchman’s Pass

Why go

The tight gap between rock walls gives Frenchman’s Pass its character. Nearby mill remains add a second layer: this corner of Aruba was part of the island’s gold-mining landscape. Come to notice the passage and the relationship to the mill, rather than for a developed attraction with a long list of facilities.

What to look for

• The passage narrows between rock walls above the Spanish Lagoon area.
• Look for the remains of Balashi Gold Mill nearby.

Useful to know

• Treat this as a short outdoor stop and confirm the approach before setting out.
• Combine the pass with the Balashi mill remains if access permits.
