Agnes Water / Town of 1770
Stay a Little Longer
Just up the coast from Bundaberg, Agnes Water and the Town of 1770 are your cue to linger a little longer. This is where reef meets point break, history rubs shoulders with holiday mode, and “one more night” becomes the group decision. Easy to reach, hard to leave, and absolutely worth the cheeky add-on to your Bundaberg stay.
Surf, Sand & a Slice OF
History
Agnes Water serves up the northernmost surf beach on Queensland’s east coast, plus calm coves and national park trails that beg for a wander. Next door, the Town of 1770 marks the spot where Captain James Cook first stepped ashore in Queensland, but these days the only landing you need to worry about is your kayak, SUP or sunset picnic. It is low-key, high vibe, and all about that unhurried coastal glow.
Park it,
Camp It,
Send It,
Staying over? Good call. Roll into NRMA Agnes Water Holiday Park for beachfront bliss, go off grid in style at Traveller’s Rest 1770 Eco Camping, or crank up the fun with 1770LARC! Tours and ride a bright pink amphibious beast straight from sand to sea.
However you do it, this little coastal duo turns a Bundaberg trip into a proper Queensland escape.
