Trinity

Trinity is widely considered the most impeccably preserved historical town in Newfoundland and Labrador. Established by merchants in the 1700s, its deep, sheltered natural harbor made it a thriving hub for the transatlantic salt fish trade, a legacy preserved in its distinct colorful wooden architecture and classic white picket fences. The town functions almost as an immersive living museum. Visitors can explore the Lester-Garland House, a meticulous reconstruction of a brick merchant manor, and the historic St. Paul's Anglican Church, built in 1892. The nearby Skerwink Trail is a 5.3-kilometer coastal loop that features dramatic sea stack views and frequent in-shore whale sightings. During summer, the renowned Rising Tide Theatre company brings local history to life through outdoor pageants and stage productions. Dining in Trinity features upscale regional cuisine and traditional bakeapple (cloudberry) desserts. Located off Route 230, it is a three-hour drive from St. John's. The town's historical sites operate primarily from June through September.
