Day 1: Arrival and Exploring Agnes Water
Morning: Check-in and Beach Walk
Arrive in Agnes Water and settle into your chosen holiday home. If you’ve booked through 1770 Beach Accommodation, expect a modern, clean, and well-equipped property ready to make your weekend smooth and enjoyable.
After unpacking, head straight to Agnes Water Main Beach. It’s a calm, safe stretch of sand where you can kick back, paddle in the gentle surf, or let the kids build sandcastles. If you’ve brought your pooch, they’ll love running along the shoreline.
Tip: Take a few snaps — the sunrise here is spectacular and makes for a perfect start to your weekend.
Midday: Brunch at a Local Café
Fuel up at one of Agnes Water’s pet-friendly cafés. Codie’s Place is a local favourite, offering hearty breakfasts and fresh coffee. If you’re staying in a self-catered holiday home, you might prefer cooking your own meal while the kids (and dogs) explore the backyard or nearby park.
Afternoon: Surfing or Paddleboarding
Agnes Water is famous as the most northern surf beach on Australia’s east coast. Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or a total beginner, there’s a lesson or rental waiting for you. Kids can take a gentle surf lesson, or the whole family can try paddleboarding together.
If you’re more about chilling than active sports, a stroll along the beach or the headlands provides stunning views of Bustard Bay.
Evening: Dinner and Sunset
Head to 1770 Marina for dinner with a view. Many local eateries welcome pets in outdoor areas, so your four-legged mate can enjoy the evening with you. Afterwards, enjoy a sunset walk along the foreshore — it’s a classic 1770 experience.
Day 2: Adventure and Nature
Morning: 1770 Reef Eco Tours
Kick off the day with a trip to the Southern Great Barrier Reef via 1770 Reef Eco Tours. Snorkelling and diving options let you explore colourful coral, tropical fish, and other marine life. Even if you’re not a diver, the boat tours provide amazing views and educational commentary about the reef’s ecosystem.
This is a bucket-list activity that’s perfect for families, couples, or groups. If you’ve got kids, the guides often make it fun and interactive.
Midday: Picnic in Nature
After the reef adventure, pack a picnic and head to Deepwater National Park. The park offers secluded beaches, bushwalking trails, and plenty of wildlife. Kangaroos, wallabies, and native birds are common sights, so don’t forget your camera.
Tip: Many properties booked through 1770 Beach Accommodation are close enough for a quick morning or afternoon trip to the park.
Afternoon: LARC Paradise Tour
For something totally unique, jump on a LARC Paradise Tour. These amphibious vehicles take you across both land and water to explore remote beaches and hidden spots around 1770. Kids absolutely love it, and it’s a chance to see parts of the coast that are otherwise inaccessible.
If you’re travelling with pets, check with your property provider — some holiday homes offer secure yards to keep pets comfortable while you’re out exploring.
Evening: Relax at Your Holiday Home
After a full day, retreat to your 1770 Beach Accommodation property. Enjoy a BBQ, a swim in the pool (if available), or just relax with a book while the kids unwind. With spacious, well-maintained homes, evenings at your accommodation can be just as fun as daytime adventures.
Day 3: Local Culture and Scenic Views
Morning: Explore Eurimbula National Park
Take a morning drive to Eurimbula National Park, where you can hike through diverse landscapes and spot native wildlife. The trails are suitable for families, and the views over the coastline are breathtaking.
Midday: Lunch and Local Shops
Stop for lunch at a local café or grab takeaway to enjoy in a scenic spot. The nearby Town of 1770 has a few quaint shops and galleries where you can browse local arts and crafts.
Afternoon: Historical and Cultural Sites
- Agnes Water Museum and Visitor Centre: Learn about the history of the area and its original inhabitants. It’s perfect for a quick educational stop, especially if the weather turns.
- 1770 Distillery: Adults can enjoy a rum or gin tasting, while kids can explore the grounds or enjoy non-alcoholic options. Some distilleries have cafés that are pet-friendly, making it suitable for the whole family.
Evening: Sunset on the Beach
Cap off your weekend with a sunset at one of the dog-friendly beaches, such as 1770 Foreshore. It’s calm, safe, and ideal for evening strolls. The kids can play in the sand, and your dog can enjoy the off-leash areas while you soak in the view.
