Airlie Beach Lagoon

Parks and Gardens

The Airlie Beach Lagoon is situated right in the centre of Airlie Beach right at the oceanfront, surrounded by grassy sunbathing spots, playgrounds and BBQ areas. If you want to spend a relaxing day with no admission fee "spend a day at the Lagoon". It is a popular hangout spot for locals and visitors alike. It is built on a raised breakwater, giving an excellent view out to the Coral Sea and Whitsunday Islands.
