Agnes Water, Coastal administrative division in Gladstone Region, Australia.
Agnes Water extends along a 5.5-kilometer beach arc from Round Hill to the northern end, featuring low sand dunes and clear waters.
The area received its name from a schooner called Agnes that disappeared near Pancake Creek in 1873 during a maritime incident.
The Meerooni tribe, part of the Gurang nation, maintained their traditions in this region before European settlement arrived in the late 1800s.
The town contains essential facilities including a visitor center, medical services, shops, and direct access to the southern Great Barrier Reef.
Agnes Water marks the northern limit of surfing beaches in Queensland, positioned 80 kilometers southeast from the Bruce Highway.
