Introduction

Trinity Beach, some 20 minutes' drive north of Cairns in the 'northern beaches' zone, is one of the liveliest and best-equipped beaches in the area. This long, palm-fringed beach has fine sand and calm, sheltered waters, with a patrolled swimming area all year round and stinger nets in season - ideal for families. Along the esplanade are barbeques, picnic areas, playgrounds and several ocean-facing cafes and restaurants where you can sip coffee and watch the sea.
