Nestled alongside the north facing beach of Agnes Water and protected by a natural headland, the beachfront Sandcastles 1770 Motel and Resort will soon be recognized as one of the most beautiful, idyllic and desirable holiday locations on Queensland’s Discovery Coast.

Awake to the glorious sunshine and take on whatever the day presents, surf on the north facing Agnes Water point. Fish or swim in the year round warm waters, dive amongst the colourful coral on The Southern Great Barrier Reef or take a stroll in a nearby national park.

Step outside to a world of lush vegetation and crystal clear waters complemented by natural art and a small village of shops. Enjoy the pure remoteness and ultimate tranquillity that this region has to offer. This really is living in the lap of luxury.

At Sandcastles 1770 you have the choice of a short stop over in our new, air conditioned motel suites accommodating up to 4 adults or for a longer stay our luxuriously furnished, fully self contained, studio or 1-6 bedroom Beach Home Apartments.

Designed to integrate with the sub tropical vegetation and climate, Sandcastles 1770 lives and breathes with the changing nature of the picturesque Town of 1770/Agnes Water.
