SURF & KAYAK

Agnes Water is one of the last places you will find surf when heading North along the East Coast of Queensland. Surf lessons are super cheap here and it’s a great place to find your inner Aussie and fall in love with the surf. Around the corner in 1770 the conditions are quite different making it the perfect place to sea kayak or take a relaxing swim. With great waves and calm bays you’ll find your favorite spot easily!

BEACH BUMS

Local life here is pretty chilled out and walking the streets barefoot is totally accepted in this little coast town. The beach is just a short walk from the shops and there are lots to choose from. Some are more accessible than others and depending if you a pure sunbather, surfer or keen on fishing they’ll be a beach for you. Just ask the locals for advice when you arrive and they’ll be sure to point you in the right direction.
