The last stop in Aruba was Arashi Beach for my first taste of salt water in the Caribbean . The beach was dotted with palapas, huts covered with dried palm leaves . Nearby stands the California Lighthouse, built in around 1910 and named for the United States ship that sank off the coast on 23 September 1891.
