Tres Trapi (Three Steps)

West Coast 4.7

Tres Trapi, meaning 'Three Steps' in Papiamento, is a tiny cove accessed by - you guessed it - three steps carved into the rocky shoreline. What it lacks in sand, it more than makes up for in marine life. This is one of the most reliable spots in Aruba for sea turtle sightings, and the snorkeling is outstanding with healthy coral and abundant fish. The small size keeps it uncrowded, and it's a favorite among locals and repeat visitors.
