The Bluewater Lagoon—the ultimate tropical playground tucked right near the heart of Mackay City

This vibrant, beach-style Bluewater lagoon features three sparkling tiers of pools, all designed for safe, easy swimming and guaranteed good times. Whether you want to float, splash, play, or simply relax, you’ll find your perfect spot within minutes of the city’s cafes, walkways, and riverside fun.

Families will love the age-friendly Bluewater lagoons, each with different depths to suit tiny tots through to confident swimmers. Kids can burn off energy in the interactive water playground, zip down the water slide, or watch water tumble over the gorgeous waterfall that connects the two main pools. There’s even a shallow wading pool made just for toddlers—cute photo ops included.

The Bluewater Lagoon lifeguards keep a watchful eye over the action, but parents still need to stay close—after all, lifeguards are for safety, not babysitting. And to make your day even sweeter… entry is completely FREE. It’s one of the best-value days out you’ll find anywhere.

Pack a picnic or fire up one of the barbecues, spread out on the grassy lawns, or grab a shady table for a long, lazy lunch. There’s a café right on site for cool drinks and snacks.

The Bluewater Lagoon is the place to be if you are looking for sunshine, laughter and hours of water-filled fun.
