Trinity Attractions
Picturesque Trinity, from which the offshore bay gets its name, is an old fishing and trading town which still has its wharves. The historical character of the town has been well preserved. Ryan Premises, which are privately owned but may be visited on request, The Society of Fishermen's Hall and other 19th c. buildings have remained almost unchanged in appearance. Trinity is one of Newfoundland's oldest settlements, having been founded in 1615 as the seat of the first maritime court.
A number of companies in Trinity offer whale watching tours during the summer months.
