Overview

Trinity Beach is a coastal suburb of Cairns, situated about 20 km north of the Cairns city centre and 6.6 km from Smithfield. The one‑mile stretch of shoreline on the Coral Sea gives residents easy beach access, while the suburb’s modest 2 km width keeps amenities within walking distance. At the 2021 Census the community numbered 6,594 people, and families are served by Trinity Beach State School (Prep‑6) with a special‑education program; the nearest secondary school is Smithfield State High in neighbouring Smithfield. A new community hall is currently under construction, adding a focal point for local events.

Development began in the 1970s and accelerated with the 173‑ha Bluewater subdivision (2004‑2008), which introduced a mix of housing alongside flood‑mitigation works completed in 2010. The suburb is flanked by a range of holiday‑apartment complexes and resorts such as Marlin Cove, Blue Lagoon and Sea Point, underscoring its lifestyle appeal. Proximity to the beach, nearby recreational facilities and straightforward road links to Cairns and Smithfield make Trinity Beach a popular choice for both permanent residents and visitors seeking a relaxed coastal lifestyle.
