About

Located in the centre of the town, “Discover 1770 & Agnes Water” has been helping locals and tourists experience the beautiful Southern Great Barrier Reef region since 2009. 

Did you know that our twin towns were recognised in 2025 by the Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC) for:

• Town of 1770 awarded GOLD in for the Top Tiny Tourism Town category

• Agnes Water awarded SILVER in the Top Small Tourism Town category

• Travellers Rest 1770 was awarded SILVER in the Top Tour Guide category

Now that our secret is out, we’d love to help you plan your next trip. Be it snorkelling on the reef or a scenic cruise around an island we can book tours for you and guide you to the best accommodation and eating spots.

Plus, our cute little shop (next to the only service station in town) has all your local art, t-shirts, beachwear, souvenirs and bike hire to help you explore our epic town!
