Tres Trapi—“three steps”—is a tiny rocky cove between Malmok and Boca Catalina. Its direct water access and typically clear visibility make it a memorable snorkelling stop.
Use this guide to plan your visit, then follow current signs, weather conditions and local instructions on the day. This is planning guidance, not a live sea-condition report.
Beach safety
The stone-step entry is compact and can be slippery. Do not jump from the rocks, block the exit, or enter when swell makes the steps difficult to use. Give marine wildlife space.
Do not assume lifeguards are present. Check for current warnings, swim with a buddy where swimming is appropriate, and keep young children within arm’s reach. If conditions are uncertain, stay out of the water.
Parking & access
Formal parking capacity, fees and restrictions have not been verified. Confirm a legal place to stop before unloading, and do not block the road or access to the steps.
Lock the vehicle, keep valuables out of sight, and leave emergency access, driveways, dunes and beach vegetation clear. A beach map pin marks the destination, not necessarily an authorised parking entrance.
Tres Trapi FAQs
Is Tres Trapi a large sandy beach?
No. It is a small rocky cove known for its steps into the water. Plan for a careful entry and exit rather than a broad, level sandy approach.
How do I access Tres Trapi?
Public roadside stop; stone steps lead into the water
What should I bring and plan before visiting?
Bring drinking water, sun protection and secure footwear for the approach. For snorkelling, use well-fitting gear, go with a buddy and choose a clear entry and exit; flotation does not make dangerous currents safe.
