Popular finds include high-quality aloe vera products, handcrafted jewelry made with island-sourced materials, and decorative items inspired by the iconic Divi-Divi tree. The lively Thursday artisan market is a highlight, featuring handmade goods and direct interaction with local artists and creators.
San Nicolas offers a flavorful dining scene with restaurants serving authentic Aruban dishes, fresh seafood, and Creole-inspired specialties. Evenings are more laid-back than Oranjestad, with cozy local bars offering live music, especially on weekends. For a cultural highlight, visit during the weekly Caribbian Festival held on Thursday nights. The streets come alive with colorful performances, dancing, food stalls, and handmade crafts, creating a festive atmosphere that celebrates Aruba’s local spirit and traditions.
San Nicolas is easy to access thanks to the Arubus public transport system, which runs regularly to and from Oranjestad. Taxis are dependable, but since they are unmetered, it’s important to agree on the fare beforehand. Renting a car is ideal for travelers wanting to explore nearby beaches and the eastern coast at their own pace. The area is simple to navigate, though some roads may be unmarked, so drive attentively.
