Bluewater Lagoon

Bluewater Lagoon Mackay is a popular destination for those who want to enjoy the beach experience within the city.

It features three tiers of lagoon pools, making it a safe swimming environment. The lagoon is conveniently located near various facilities such as barbecue areas, public workout equipment, and a playground on Bluewater Quay.

The lagoon is divided into three age-appropriate sections, making it suitable for all ages. Kids can enjoy an interactive water playground and a water slide. One notable feature is the waterfall that connects the two main lagoon pools, creating a relaxing ambiance.

Visitors can relax under shaded picnic tables, barbecue meals, and enjoy the expansive grass areas for relaxation. There is also a café on-site to ensure no one goes hungry during their visit.

The Bluewater Lagoon is open daily from 9:00 am to 5:45 pm, except on public holidays when it is closed. The best time to visit is from September to November, during Mackay's spring season, when the weather is warm with occasional showers. This period also tends to have fewer tourists, providing more space and shorter wait times.

Getting to the Bluewater Lagoon is easy as it is located in the heart of Mackay City. It is within walking distance of other cafes and restaurants along Pioneer River. For those traveling by car, there is ample parking available. The public transport system is reliable, and the lagoon is just a short walk from the Mackay Central Business District.

It is important to note that the Bluewater Lagoon is monitored by lifeguards and is free to enter newline.
