The King's Cove Head Lighthouse was built in 1893, and a path called the Longshore Road leads to the light. There are great walking trails providing opportunities to see and photograph whales and seabirds. Trinity Bight, from the north shore, contains the communities of English Harbour, Champney's East, Champney's Arm, Champney's West, Trinity East, Port Rexton, Trinity, Goose Cove, Dunfield, Trouty, Old Bonaventure and New Bonaventure. Brilliant summer comes alive in the communities of Trinity Bight. Of all Newfoundland's heritage communities, Trinity perhaps defines us best.
Trinity is one of the most historically-significant communities in the province.
The deep regard and respect for the past goes back farther here than anywhere else on the island. Trinity was a crucial pioneer settlement, with some of the first clergy, doctors and professional tradespeople in Newfoundland. Drive north from Clarenville on Route 230, taking a right onto Route 239 - Trinity Harbour comes into view like unwrapping a present. The town got its start at the turn of the last century, from five coves in the very bottom of Northwest Arm, Trinity Bay. As the major terminus for the Bonavista Peninsula and all rail traffic west, Clarenville quickly became the region's primary centre.
