Pedro’s at Trinity Beach

Well, what a year it’s been! Business has been a little tough to say the least.
I’m sure the recent flooding event is still fresh for many local residents.
However, one step at a time we continue to move forward. Working with Tourism Trinity Beach and Advance Palm Cove have provided a breath of fresh air. We are feeling positive about the future of tourism at the Northern Beaches for this and upcoming seasons.

Ok, so apart from reversing camera, ventilation and signage, the trailer is fully kitted out with kayaks, kayak equipment, stinger suits and fishing gear! it’s well balanced and tows beautifully.

Hope to see you at the beach soon!
