Top Attractions in Arue
💡 Bring cash in XPF; stalls close by 1pm, and the best deals on fresh pineapples and mangoes happen mid-morning after the cruise ship crowd leaves.
💡 Go early morning before 8am to have the beach nearly to yourself; the sea can have a strong rip current, so swim with caution and stick near the flagged area.
💡 Combine with a walk along the nearby waterfront promenade; the site is unlocked but closes at dusk, and there’s no entrance fee.
💡 Mosquitoes are thick after rain; bring repellent. There's one bench with shade near the entrance—grab it early if you want a proper sit-down.
💡 Park on the gravel pull-off just past the steep curve—it's narrow, so don't block driveways. The view works best with a polarised lens to cut glare.
