We were driving to Baby Beach on our visit to Aruba and as we got close to it we started seeing little crosses all over the place on the left (South-East) side of the Island.
They did not seem to be very large grave sites nor grave stones, and it was too close to the water for a regular cemetery. So we got a closer look and saw some of the names like Lucky, Trixie, Rocky and other one name markers etc. and then we realized it was a pet cemetery. There was no sign around to designate it as one, but you could tell this seemed to be the place that the locals brought their loved ones after they passed.
This is an isolated portion of beach, and out of the way of most tourists, except maybe geocachers chasing a cache along the way.
It was for about a 1/4 of a mile long and almost as wide down to the water.
We took a few pictures and headed onto Baby Beach to enjoy the day, and we left the pets in peace.
