At Agnes Water you’ll find million dollar sea views, charming beach cottages and delux accommodation - all with an ambience that helps make the town an ideal holiday destination.
To the north lies the Town of 1770, a town that grew up in the footprints of Captain James Cook was officially named during the 1988 Bicentennial year.
Town of 1770 overlooks Round Hill Creek estuary to Eurimbula National Park to the north and the southern most island of the Great Barrier Reef to the East.
The surfers’ shacks of old share the foreshore with a new brand of beach hut, B&B’s, holiday apartments and guesthouses, but the crystal clear water and natural landscape has changed little since Cook’s landing.
One of the town’s main attractions is proximity to the coral cays of the Great Barrier Reef - Lady Musgrave Island, part of Capricorn Cays National Park, is only an eighty minute trip away.
