About Sea Glass Island
Sea Glass Island is one of Aruba's most unique attractions—a small island or beach area where waves have washed ashore decades of tumbled glass, creating a colorful shoreline. You can't drive there; access is by guided kayak tour or boat. Tours typically include equipment, instruction, and time to explore and collect (or photograph) sea glass. Options range from morning and afternoon kayak trips to clear-kayak adventures and sunset snorkeling tours. Ideal for families, couples, and anyone who wants a memorable half-day experience off the main beaches.

- Wear water shoes or sandals you don't mind getting wet; you may wade or walk on the beach.
- Bring a waterproof bag or case for your phone if you want photos; some operators offer clear kayaks for unique views.
