About this place

What to expect

The Bluewater Lagoon is the ultimate place to soak up the sunshine. Tucked near the heart of Mackay City This vibrant, beach-style lagoon features three sparkling tiers of pools designed for safe, easy swimming. Whether you want to float, splash, play or unwind, you'll find your perfect spot minutes from the city's cafes, walkways and riverside attractions. Families will love the different pool depths, suited to everyone from tiny tots to confident swimmers. Kids can burn off energy in the interactive water playground, zip down the water slide or watch the waterfall tumble between the two main pools. There's also a shallow wading pool for toddlers. Lifeguards keep a watchful eye, but parents still need to stay close, as lifeguards are there for safety, not babysitting. Best of all, entry is completely FREE! Pack a picnic or fire up a barbecue, spread out on the grassy lawns or claim a shady table for a long, lazy lunch. The on-site café has cool drinks and snacks when you need a break. While you relax, pick up a Mackay Isaac Visitor Guide and flick through it with a cold drink or a bite to eat as you plan your next adventure. For sunshine, laughter and hours of water-filled fun, the Bluewater Lagoon is the place to be.
