Agnes Water - Tourism Town of the Year

Zephyr Studios’ film transports you straight into the laid back rhythm of Agnes Water, where coastal serenity and community spirit collide in every frame. Director Stuart McKay captures the town’s unique pulse, from the gentle curve of its golden shoreline at first light to the flicker of lanterns around evening beach gatherings.

Through a blend of sweeping aerial sequences, immersive underwater dives and candid interviews with local surfers, artists and rangers, the film paints Agnes Water as more than a destination: it’s a place you feel with your whole heart.

Rather than chasing high energy thrills, this story savours the quiet moments that define the town’s character. You’ll meet a turtle nesting volunteer tracing hatchling tracks at dawn, a family run cafe serving coffee beneath a canopy of pandanus palms and a seasoned fishing skipper guiding guests into hidden coves. Each vignette is woven together with a warm, authentic voiceover that underlines why Agnes Water earned Queensland’s top small tourism town accolade: it’s a community forging its own path, rooted in care for country and open hearted hospitality.

By highlighting slow paced adventures such as stand up paddling through morning mist, night time stargazing circles around driftwood bonfires and sunrise yoga with the surf as a soundtrack, Zephyr Studios invites viewers to step off the beaten track and embrace Agnes Water’s gentle magic. This isn’t just a showcase of sun and sand, it’s an open invitation to become part of a story that unfolds in every tide pool, every dusty street market and every sunset shared among new friends.
