Trinity

Introducing Trinity

Let’s set the record straight: Trinity is the Bonavista Peninsula’s most popular stop, a historic town of crooked seaside lanes, storybook heritage houses and gardens with white picket fences. Trinity Bight is the name given to the 12 communities in the vicinity, including Trinity, Port Rexton and New Bonaventure.

While Trinity is movie-set lovely, some visitors have complained that its perfection is a bit boring. But if you like historic buildings and theater along with your scenery – and you’re keen for an educational whale-watch tour – this is definitely your place. It’s a tiny town (population 250) and easily walkable.

First visited by Portuguese explorer Corte-Real in 1500 and established as a town in 1580, Trinity is one of the oldest settlements on the continent.
