Discover Agnes Water

The Agnes Water Visitor Information Centre is also a point of contact for maps, guidebooks and trip-planning information. Consider which of these themes you want to shape your stay; this is a useful starting point for narrowing down your search for a hotel in Agnes Water.

Discovery Trail and views

The Agnes Water Museum is located at 69 Springs Rd in Agnes Water. The Discovery Trail starts at the car park behind the museum on Springs Road. You can allow about 30 minutes for the return walk. The trail offers views of Agnes Water Beach from the lookout. Use the time required and the views to plan your activities: the trail gives you two specific points to consider when planning your day. A page on the local tourism portal, last updated on 25 March 2024, describes Agnes Water Main Beach as six kilometres long and a good surf beach; it describes access via the footbridge near the car park at Tom Jeffery Park on Agnes Street. Check the described access against current information before your visit.

Art in Agnes Water and Town of 1770

The Pole Art Trail is a series of individually and artistically painted power poles in Agnes Water and Town of 1770. The designs depict the region’s native flora and fauna. This brings the design of the poles and the region’s plant and animal life together as the focus. Unlike the views from the Discovery Trail, the emphasis here is on these artistic designs.

Run or walk

Workman’s Beach parkrun is a free, friendly, timed 5 km run or walk through coastal bushland in Agnes Water. The set distance and timing give the event a clear format: choose between running and walking. If you want to plan your trip dates around the parkrun, check in advance whether it will be available then.

For planning your day, the Discovery Trail and parkrun offer different points of reference: for the trail, it’s the approximate duration of the return walk; for the parkrun, it’s the five-kilometre distance and timing. This lets you compare a roughly half-hour return walk on the trail with a run or walk over a set distance.

Trip-planning information

If you’d like to bring together various practical questions in advance, maps and guidebooks can help you find your way; information about things to do, food and accommodation covers other aspects of trip planning. The centre also offers bookings for tours and stays in national parks. If you’d like to use one of these services, check the centre’s current offerings in advance.
