The sun drops low over the shoals and the roadside grasses take on a copper edge as you glide through Agnes and nearby Seventeen Seventy on a low-slung scooter. Helmets click into place, the guide calls a soft warning about kangaroos emerging in the scrub, and the small group threads quiet coastal roads toward a west-facing headland where the day ends in a wide, molten arc.

This coastline is where Lieutenant James Cook made one of his landfalls in 1770; the sandstone headlands and sandy beaches show a simple geology of coastal plain and weathered volcanic outcrops. The towns here grew from grazing and fishing communities and today mix surf culture with ecotourism — local guides often point out nesting sites and the seasonal runs of whales offshore.
Expect mostly paved, low-traffic roads with short stretches near dunes or beach turnouts; speeds are moderate and the route is paced for visibility and wildlife watching. The ride covers village roads, lookouts, and beach-adjacent viewpoints over 2–3 hours, usually timed to reach a sunset spot. Guides will share local stories and can add stops like a kangaroo sanctuary (small donation) or quiet birding coves.
Practical notes: bring a valid driver’s license (required for hire), wear closed-toe shoes and a wind layer for after-sunset chill. Stay hydrated, secure loose items on the scooter, and give wildlife space — dawn and dusk are busiest for animals. The tour is family-friendly but best for riders comfortable on two wheels and able to mount/dismount independently.
