On the southwest coast, south of Blata tal-Melh. A staircase to the sea carved right into the rock. Old, judging by the shape of the stairs halfway down, and massive. 6’ ugly guy for scale.

Found it! https://maps.app.goo.gl/pyUVs1yvNg3LizoJ6?g_st=ic
Really cool, now also want to find it IRL 😅
Blata l-Melħ has, as you might guess, many salt pans. It looks like workers would carry the salt down the steps to catch boats to transport it to Ä nejna.

omg are you swimming in there? today??
My guy, you would’ve swum your way into becoming a statistic. I’m super appreciative of the post and photo, but even more so because you saw sense and didn’t swim.
Many of these Instagram famous locations are hard to reach and remote. Sea currents aren’t a joke and even experienced swimmers can struggle. Places like that, like Ras ir Raħeb, Selmun, etc. are all beautiful but if you’re in the water, you’re in trouble.
