Headed out to Deepwater for a day trip from Agnes. Don’t be fooled you will need a high clearance 4wd. The track heading in from Agnes has some sections that are very torn up and rough. There is plenty of soft sand that will catch you out if you don’t pay attention. The drive is amazing though and the beaches are so secluded and beautiful. Great spot for a dip! Great day out if you are looking for something extra to do while in Agnes.
3. 1770 Distillery

1770 Distillery was established as a Boutique Distillery to utilise the locally grown fruits of the area and to provide a unique experience for both locals and tourists. It was John's dream to have a distillery and that is what led both John & Debra to the beautiful seaside Town of 1770 / Agnes Water in Queensland. The dream materialized after being bitten by the distilling bug whilst living in Tasmania. It was there that both John & Debra developed their distilling skill under the ever watchful eye of both Bill & Lyn Lark of the Lark Distillery.

A wonderful experience popping into this place. GPS had trouble to find but there is a sign at the gate entrance. The owner was a lovely man who took the time to explain how he makes his liqueurs and the stories he tells had us interested for a pleasant hour! Also a very well l stocked garden nursery which I had my eye on some basil to take on our trip! A very enjoyable experience and the taste testing led us to purchase two very different liqueurs to sip on while on our lap of Australia! Thanks 1770 Distillery!

We always make sure we stop at the info centres in a new town, and this one was another wonderful welcome. The volunteer manning the centre was full of knowledge, support and happy to take onboard any feedback and comments regarding our visit thus far. I was happy to could provide her with information to assist in her advice to future visitors to my local area of Capricornia. Definitely good value all round available to everyone in this centre. I wish we had more time to visit the museum across the road which is only open for 3 hours per day.

What an amazing place! Majestic paperbarks, stunning undergrowth of beautiful ferns,gorgeous grass trees in flower covered in so many beautiful butterflies, just magical, an easy walk only about 400 metres there are some stepping stones that some might find a bit challenging, highly recommend
6. Agnes Water Main Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 47 reviews
Agnes Water Main Beach is a patrolled surf beach (life guards on duty at certain times.) The beach stretches all the way to Seventeen Seventy headland – about 6kms. Great surf for longboards with the best wave being at the Point. Surfing lessons and surf board hire are available from local businesses. Camping and accommodation are available on and near the beach.

A crowded carpark next to amenities is the public entrance to Agnes Waters Beach. The carpark is adjacent what appears to be a large very appealing camping ground, so clearly the campers would enjoy this direct beach access. Agnes Water Beach stretches to the Town of 1770 in the north, provides a bit of surf, and looks brilliant. Easy to see why the camping ground is so popular
