The Airlie Beach Lagoon, located on the foreshore of Airlie Beach, is a popular swimming basin in Whitsunday Regional Council. Spanning an impressive 4,300 square metres, the lagoon holds an impressive 4. 5 million litres of fresh, self-chlorinated water. This ensures a safe and enjoyable swimming experience for everyone throughout the year, as it is completely free from stingers and marine wildlife.
The facility features various pools to cater to different age groups and fitness levels. For toddlers, there is a sheltered wading pool where they can safely splash around under supervision. The children's pool has a maximum depth of 1. 5 metres, allowing them to frolic and swim confidently.
Fitness enthusiasts can make use of the larger pool, which has a maximum depth of 2 metres and even has separate swimming lanes for those seeking a more focused workout.
One of the standout features of the Airlie Beach Lagoon is its elevated position on a breakwater. This not only provides spectacular views of the Coral Sea and Whitsunday Islands but also creates a unique ambiance for visitors to enjoy. Lifeguards are present to ensure the safety of swimmers and are on duty from 05:30 am to 7:00 pm during the winter months (June to August), extending to 9:00 pm in the summer months (September to May).
The Airlie Beach Lagoon is a beloved community space that welcomes locals and tourists alike. Its convenient location, facilities, and stunning views make it an ideal spot for relaxation and leisurely swims. The lagoon offers a refreshing escape from the heat of Australian summers and is a hub of activity and enjoyment for visitors of all ages.
