I think it's neither. As it is written in Wiki:
Aruba, which has no administrative subdivisions, is one of the three countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands, together with the Netherlands and the Netherlands Antilles.

It is not the national park as the Californial lighthouse is outside of the park as are the boats pictured.
Mount Hooiberg as well is outside of the park so that would lead me to believe that just Aruba would be sufficient for an answer.

Does that mean that you would get the points if you gave a narrow answer that included the work Aruba (like the National Park)? It is not even clear if the entries are being sorted by hand or if PC is getting a computer to decide which ones are correct, which I can see leading to trouble!

If they are it will take them years, so I think we can make a wild guess...
What, no faith in PC's IT?
My guess is that many entrants will get 500 points, some will get 1,000, some will get 1,500, some will get 2,000 and some will get more than one of the above. And I won't get any.

I went with Arashi, Aruba. Strictly based on the image, if you were standing in Arashi facing SE, the lighthouse would be to your immediate right with the Hooiberg volcano appearing in the distance. However, it is possible i put more thought into this than whoever desinged the clues.

For the lighthouse to be on your right, you would have to be north of Arashi Beach almost to the dunes. You cannot see Hooiberg from there.
That aside, there are no moorings near Arashi. They are farther south by the Fishermen's Huts.
Another clue is the natural bridge in the center - which collapsed several years ago!
Finally, if the lighthouse was on your right as depicted in the picture, the ocean would be on your left.
All in all, an easy one. Waiting to see the next ones!!!

My guess is that they told us to be specific because in some other cases there might be more than one place with the same name.
So if you see a photo of an Eiffel Tower don't write Paris only if you believe it is Paris, France, because:
There are fifteen American municipalities named "Paris," and more than a few have chosen to erect Eiffel Tower replicas to pay homage to their French namesake.

I also received the bulk email one day after the contest started. Jee, thanks, Priority Club.
I've gone with
Arikok National Park, Aruba, Netherlands
for 3 days now.
It's based exactly on their suggested wording when you enter the contest - park, state, country.
I guess we'll see Monday...good luck all!

You can only win one daily prize per week - based on the first day that you guess correctly.

Argh... "Come back Monday to see if you have won." Really, we can't verify a correct answer until Monday?
Frustrating, but love the promotion so far.
