  I'll use the opportunity to again mention "The World Guide to
Nude Beaches and Recreation" by Lee Baxandall.  It truly has
worldwide information and also points to contacts for updates.
One of those contacts is the Nudist Information Center in Long
Beach, California.  Their "hotline" information number is
(213)437-6388.

  From the "World Guide" second edition, pg.121, the following
is reprinted without permission:
   ARUBA: California Lighthouse Dunes
Aruba long languished in the shadow of its sister island, Curacao, best
known of the Dutch Antilles off the Venezuelan coast.  No longer!
Aruban hotel facilities and night life now easily rival those of Curacao,
and the beaches are far superior.  Aruba's hotels are mostly grouped
on the 4-mile Palm Beach north from Oranjestad, on the western shore.
Recommended for nude use are the dunes 2 miles north of these hotels,
around California Lighthouse at Aruba'a northern tip.  Also check
the rocky area behind the lighthouse.  Rental cars are needed to get
around, and beware getting stuck in the sand of the dunes.  Aruba
is desert in climate; cacti prevail over palms; a constant breeze,
however, keeps temperatures in the comfort range.
