This is a thread for people to share interesting facts that they didn't know about Aruba! Whether you have been there already or are planning to go, post something cool that you have learned here:

Here's mine:
in Aruba nudity is illegal, so you'd better keep your bikinis on!

The island of Aruba is 19.5 miles long and only 6 miles wide. That really surprised me as I thought it was considerably larger than that!

The people in Aruba speak a lot of languages. They are taught Dutch, Papiamento, English, & Spanish. You may have noticed that if you have been!

Those are very interesting facts. And yes when you are there you don't realize how tiny that Aruba is. I think it is a part of what keeps the people there so friendly.
