Agnes Water
As the northernmost surf beach on the east coast, Agnes Water is a mecca for board riders and offers safe swimming and surfing. It is patrolled by lifesavers during peak seasons. It is also a perfect location for fishing or a simple relaxing holiday. For all of you holiday needs, the Agnes Water Information Centre is located on Captain Cook Drive. Named after a schooner that disappeared in 1873, Agnes Water is a relatively quiet seaside village with excellent accommodation and amenities. Step back in time at the Miriam Vale Shire Museum at Springs Road in Agnes Water. The Museum showcases the history of the area and restored original memorabilia. The collection was commenced by the late Aurthur Jeffery in 1972 and is housed in two buildings. The original museum has been moved to its present site and restored to hold memorabilia of early shire life. The Maritime display has information on the Endeavor voyage featuring Cook's charts and journals. Photographs of the actual plans collected by Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander are on display.
