...it’s a snapshot of life in Agnes Water, the Town of 1770, and the wider Discovery Coast. We exist to connect locals, celebrate our unique coastal lifestyle, and keep the community in the loop with stories and updates that matter.

​

What started as a small idea in 1988— to share local news and information in an easy way — has grown into a much-loved publication that locals and visitors alike look forward to picking up. Every two weeks, The Coastal Rag brings you a curated mix of:

​

• Local news and community updates

• Inspiring stories about the people, small businesses, and hidden gems that make our area special

• Important council notices and information you need to know

• What’s on guides for markets, live music, and events

• Ideas for things to do, from cosy cafés and great dining spots to walking trails and creative workshops

​​

You’ll find us in various shops, cafés, and community spaces around the area— ready to read over your morning coffee or share with friends. We’re proud to be a voice for the community, shining a light on the stories that might otherwise go untold and giving locals a space to share their events, achievements, and ideas.

​

Whether you’ve lived here forever, just moved in, or are visiting for a short time, The Coastal Rag is your friendly, reliable, and proudly local guide to our little patch of paradise.
