Tres Trapi, Snorkeling beach in Noord, Aruba
The entry point consists of concrete steps carved into coral walls, leading directly to clear waters where sea turtles frequently swim.
The location earned its name Tres Trapi, meaning Three Steps in Papiamento, from the original three coral steps that provided water access.
Local residents maintain marine preservation efforts by monitoring turtle populations and organizing regular beach cleaning activities throughout the year.
Morning hours between 8 AM and 11 AM offer optimal conditions for turtle watching, with calmer waters and increased marine life activity.
The northern position of this beach creates conditions where sea turtles gather to feed on seagrass beds near limestone formations.
