What our travelers think about their stay

Small town located on the east coast of Australia, south of Gladstone and the Great Barrier Reef. Agnes Water is the east coast's surfing destination par excellence.

My suggestion

Arrive in May-July to take advantage of a more temperate season. It's best to choose this town for your stay and drive the 8 km to the little "1770" village.

Agnes Water, which owes its name to a stranded boat, is twinned locally with Town of 1770 (7km) Surrounded by national parks, both villages are famous for being quiet tourist destinations, away from the crowds.

My suggestion

Going north, Agnes Wate r is the last beach in Queensland where you can surf: take surfing lessons, dive, fish, explore the national parks of the area, book yourself a boat trip on the reef.
