Fodor's Expert Review Trigg

Surfers and bodyboarders favor this beach, riding the transparent blue waves from Trigg Point and Trigg Island, sometimes crashing into the sandy bottom. Swimmers don masks and paddle to the snorkeling spot of Mettams Pool that is lovely on calm days but should be avoided when the swell is up. The hip, surfer-theme coffee haunt, Yelo, and the ultracool Island Market Trigg offer healthy meals and views for days.  Across the road away from the ocean, the Trigg Bushland Reserve makes for interesting, paved bushwalking—just follow the trail and its interpretive signage. Amenities: food and drink; lifeguards; parking; toilets. Best for: snorkeling; sunset; surfing.

There is a strong undertow off this beach, and swimmers have struck trouble.
