Day 1: Arrival & Beach Fun
Morning:
Arrive in Seventeen Seventy and check into your chosen holiday home from 1770 Beach Accommodation. Whether you’re after a spacious beachfront villa, a cosy townhouse, or a pet-friendly home with a fenced yard, you’re guaranteed a property that’s comfortable, safe, and perfect for the family.
Once you’ve unpacked, take a stroll along 1770 Foreshore, a calm, sheltered beach ideal for pets and kids alike. Let the kids build sandcastles while your dog has a run along the soft sand. There are picnic areas and shaded spots, so you can relax while keeping an eye on the little ones and your furry mate.
Tip: Booking through 1770 Beach Accommodation ensures the home you stay in meets high standards, with everything from secure yards for pets to fully equipped kitchens for family meals.
Afternoon:
Grab lunch at a pet-friendly café like the 1770 Marina Café or 1770 Getaway, where you can enjoy a meal while your pooch lounges by your feet. After lunch, consider a short drive to Agnes Water Main Beach, one of the most northern surf beaches on Australia’s east coast. Here, kids can have a splash while parents relax on the sand. Dogs are allowed off-leash north of the flagged bathing area, so your four-legged friend can enjoy a bit of freedom too.
Evening:
Return to your holiday home for a BBQ dinner or order takeout from a local eatery. Spend the evening on the deck, enjoying bay views and planning the next day’s adventure.
Day 2: Adventure & Nature
Morning:
Start the day with an early breakfast at your 1770 Beach Accommodation property — many homes come with full kitchens and outdoor dining areas, perfect for a family start.
Head out on a reef tour with 1770 Reef Eco Tours. These tours offer snorkelling and diving trips to the Southern Great Barrier Reef. It’s a magical experience for the whole family, with colourful coral, tropical fish, and other marine life. Kids will be mesmerised, and adults can relax knowing everyone’s in safe hands.
Tip: Some tours welcome pets on board for a short ride on the pier or nearby waters, but always check before booking.
Afternoon:
Grab lunch at a casual café in Agnes Water, then explore Deepwater National Park. With deserted beaches, bush trails, and picnic spots, it’s a perfect place for a family bushwalk. Dogs on a leash are welcome on certain trails, so your pet can enjoy the adventure too. Don’t forget to pack water, snacks, and a camera to capture the stunning scenery.
Evening:
Return to your holiday home for a dip in the pool (many 1770 Beach Accommodation properties feature private or shared pools). Afterward, take a leisurely sunset walk along 1770 Marina. The foreshore provides panoramic views and is dog-friendly, giving your four-legged mate a relaxing end to a busy day.
Day 3: Chill, Explore & Departure
Morning:
After breakfast, take a final stroll along Chinamans Beach (outside turtle nesting season, November to March). It’s quieter than the main beaches and perfect for a peaceful morning with pets and kids.
Alternatively, book a unique experience with LARC Paradise Tour, an amphibious vehicle adventure exploring remote beaches and coastline around 1770. Kids love the novelty, and adults will enjoy the scenic views — an unforgettable way to end the weekend.
Afternoon:
Pack up, check out, and stop by a local café for a light lunch. If time permits, swing by the Agnes Water Museum and Visitor Centre to learn about the region’s history and the local Aboriginal heritage. It’s educational for the kids and a nice way to round out your weekend.
Departure:
Head home, relaxed and rejuvenated after a jam-packed but stress-free long weekend. Families will leave with happy memories, and pets will have had a holiday just as fun as anyone else’s.
