Coco Loco Beach Bar & Restaurant is the colorful stand-alone beach shack on the white sand of Eagle Beach — past Costa Linda Beach Resort, with the unmistakable life-sized Captain Morgan statue out front. By day it’s the quintessential Caribbean beach bar with frozen cocktails, smoothies and beach lounger rentals. By night it transforms into one of Eagle Beach’s most popular sunset party spots with DJ-driven music and dancing barefoot in the sand. For the after-dark side of San Nicolas, the guided San Nicolas night tour is a private two-hour round trip from your hotel for up to six adults, half paid online and the balance on the night.

About Coco Loco Beach Bar
Coco Loco occupies prime Eagle Beach real estate at J.E. Irausquin Boulevard 67A — a colorful stand-alone wooden beach shack that pops up out of nowhere just past Costa Linda. The look is classic island beach bar: bright Caribbean colors, palapa shade structures, the iconic Captain Morgan statue marking the entrance, and seating both inside and on the beach with toes literally in the sand. If you plan to spend the whole day on that stretch, you can reserve an umbrella and two chairs on Eagle Beach before you arrive.
The vibe shifts dramatically through the day:
- Morning to mid-afternoon — laid-back beach bar serving snacks and tropical drinks to beach-goers in lounge chairs and umbrellas (rentable).
- Late afternoon — happy hour and sunset prep, the busiest food window.
- Sunset to evening — transforms into a hot party spot with DJ-driven or live music, dancing barefoot in the sand.
Free Wi-Fi, showers for rinsing off after the beach, and beach rentals available. Cash-friendly. The most popular bar on Eagle Beach for sunset.
The full menu with prices — checked October 2026
Coco Loco has no website of its own and its Google listing is unclaimed, so this menu is transcribed from the bar’s own printed card — the Coco Loco Aruba food and drinks menu photographed on its Google listing, which carries the bar’s @cocolocobeachbar handle. Prices are in US dollars, checked October 2026; dishes rotate, so expect small changes.

Our verdict
Come for the beach and the sunset, and order accordingly. The review themes on the bar’s Google listing put sunset views (41 mentions) and the beachfront setting (36) far ahead of everything else, with live music nights (16) behind them — the location is the product. From the menu itself, the $16 ceviche and the $28 whole red snapper are the sea-menu picks reviewers actually name (10 and 7 mentions), and the $10–$16 frozen cocktails undercut the Palm Beach hotel bars. Most food sits at $13–$25 with only the $38 churrasco above $30 — mid-range for Eagle Beach — and Google puts typical spend at AWG 20–40 a head, roughly $11 to $22 at the 1.79 peg. The honest caveat stands: reviewers report long food waits at busy hours, so order early and let the sunset do the work.
What guests are saying
Reviews are mixed but the location is unbeatable. The most-praised themes on its Google listing: the sunset views (41 review mentions), the Eagle Beach beachfront itself (36), the live music nights (16), and the frozen drinks — piña coladas and frozen mojitos both earn their own review tags.
Honest caveats: order/pickup process is confusing — multiple recent reviews call out lack of clear menu signage or ordering instructions; long food waits (40-70 minutes during busy times); can be hard to hear order numbers over the music; limited shade while waiting; “local price” requires showing ID — be aware. Tip: come for the cocktails and the sunset party, set expectations low for the food and order early.
