| Trigg Beach |
|
There is nothing like sitting out the back at Trigg waiting for a set to come through. During winter, the surf can become quite treacherous, so it is better to leave it to the locals to break their necks. |

Yet in summer, Trigg is the best place to grab a boogie board, and surf a wave towards the shore. Pull off a couple of snappy 360 degree slide turns, and impress the captive audience sitting on the sand. To find out what Trigg is like during winter, read our Surfing Article. During summer, the surf patrol reserves a section of the beach just for swimmers. These are the unfortunate people who don't own a boogie board. |

Trigg is named after a rocky feature called Trigg Island, which is opposite the Trigg Island Cafe. The name originates from Henry Trigg who was Superintendent of Public Works in the colony from 1838 to 1851. The beach sand runs right up to Trigg Island so it is technically not a real island. No one seems to mind to much about this, except the owners of the Trigg Island Ferry Company. |
