The most dominant and entrancing feature is the stunning aspect which affords magnificent views to the panorama of the Coral Sea. Its almost impossible to discern where the dazzling infinity pool ends and the ocean begins. But you could spend your entire holiday trying! Located on a hilltop overlooking the Esplanade beachfront, Vue Trinity Beach gives you easy and immediate access to both the swimming beach and the restaurants and bars along the shore front, with the brand new Trinity Beach Tavern located under our pool deck right on the waters edge. The beach is very safe for swimming and like all Aussie beaches has lifeguards on duty and, in our tropical summer from November to May, a stinger-proof enclosure for protected swimming. Trinity Beach and the headlands at each end are popular spots for fishing or walking or simply sitting and taking in the tropical mornings and evenings. The beach is a calm oasis with only non-motorised water sports permitted.
