Collecting Seashells, coral, and beach sand to take home may seem like an innocent token of your stay on the island. Please be aware that it is against the law in Aruba. These items will be confiscated by customs and a fine will be imposed.

Help us sustain the delicate ecosystem of our coastlines and beaches by leaving all shells, sand and coral in place.
