Trigg also has a snorkelling beach, Mettam's Pool, which is to the north of the main surf/swim area.

It is also known to be a common meeting point and lookout for the local surfing community.

[citation needed] With playground protection from the sun and sea breeze, Clarko beach side reserve near Trigg Island is one of the most popular parks in the City of Stirling.

The suburb and island was named after "Henry Trigg", Superintendent of Public Works for the Swan River Colony in 1842.

Not until the late 1940s, Trigg has started to develop, whereby many of the streets reaching through it were named after former residents, pioneers and local personalities.
