Brisbane to Tin Can Bay. As you leave the city of Brisbane behind, our first stop in the Brisbane to Agnes Water roadtrip is the secluded and picturesque coastal town of Tin Can Bay.
Is 1770 worth visiting?
It is definitely worth the time just for the views, but take a hat, sun screen and water. Seventeen-Seventy is a town about 6km from Agnes Water. It is much smaller and only has a restaurant and very limited accommodation. So if you make it to Agnes Water, take the time to visit Seventeen-Seventy too.
