Agnes Water is a small sleepy town with a really cool hippy surf vibe, you won’t find anyone wearing shoes or high street shops here! If you want the Aussie experience, this is your spot matey. We love this place as a stop off between Airlie Beach & Whitsundays and Rainbow Beach / Noosa where you visit to go to Fraser Island. Agnes is sweeeeet for a few chilled surfy beach days.
