Agnes Water is the most northern beach that you can surf and just around the corner is 1770, the first place that Captain Cook discovered in Queensland in 1770. 1770 is the most southern point that you can get a boat out to the Great Barrier Reef. We had decided that our birthday gifts to each other would be a day snorkelling on the Reefs so we were keen to book it. Unfortunately the dates kept getting pushed back due to there being too much swell for the boats to go out. We stayed here over a week but the swell never dropped, and although it was disappointing for the snorkelling it was great for the surf!!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Agnes water, it was very quiet and laid back small town. The strangest thing was that I (Ruth) bumped into a girl I went to school with. It's funny, at school even though we shared a bus twice a day we'd never really exchanged more that a, 'Hello', yet bumping into each other at the other side of the world gave us tones to talk about.
We spent our last evening in Agnes Water over looking the Marrina at 1770 with a picnic. Due to the way the headland stretched out you could watch the sunset over the water, a rare treat for the East Coast.
