From the Capital: Take the main highway that runs through the middle of the island towards Santa Cruz (2A) and make a left at the Supermercado Mundo Nobo. There is a sign that points towards the Daimari Dam/Mira Lamar Pass. Then take a right at the first intersection. Follow this road and the same signs all the way through until you hit the mountain and the giant valley/pass. Just keep going straight. Make sure you have a heavy duty 4x4 it's quite rough. Then make a left at the dunes after about 2 miles through the canyon. Follow the road over the hills and you'll see the beach below. Easy access.
From the southeast side of the island: Pass the prison or go through the town of San Nicolas and head towards the north. The roads all end up near a drag race strip. Follow this road for about 20 minutes and you'll hit the spot eventually. Look for the white sand dunes. Watch out for goats!!!!

Additional Information
This is a really good spot for when it's too small everywhere else. It is your basic beach break, except it is located within a bay wth large cliffs that make the waves refract and turn into excellent peaks with barrels all the way up and down the beach. There is an excellent left and right and sometimes a right just like Hobos, PR will form on the right tip of the bay. This place is sick in the late afternoon when the winds die and the swell is about 4ft. It will barrel really well.

Atmosphere
Be respectful to the locals. Watch out for the bodyboarders as they seem to be crowding the place now. Most of them are very cool though. Bring more than one board. It is the one place where boards are broken all the time in Aruba. Also, respect the nature of Aruba and don't litter. This spot is now located in a nature reserve and they do control the beaches from time to time.

Dos Playa
By skud , 05-04-2006
wow - this beach looks absolutely beautiful, and judging by the pics it looks like it gets really good and heavy from time to time too. maybe i'll jump the puddle from Florida to come surf with you guys sometime. what's usually better here, hurricane swells or winter north atlantic swells? everyone's saying it's very consistent, but of course to make any plane trip worthwhile you're looking for the best a place has to offer. stay up everyone! =) love.-"ageless beauty arising from the depths, hitting our coastline with such magnificent charm, and it never seems to end, as the sun sets on brilliant souls around the world"
