Blue Lagoon
Blue Lagoon is a popular freshwater swimming destination hidden in a serene spot in Moreton Island. Unlike other lakes, Blue Lagoon’s freshwater is not supplied by any network of rivers or streams, but from a water table under it. Even more impressive, there is a considerable amount of tea tree oil in the lagoon, which produces the water’s brown color instead of blue. With the place being tranquil and secluded, Blue Lagoon is the home of a range of bird species, including the Oystercatcher birds, which are often spotted along the shores as they catch shellfish for food. The 42-hectare lagoon’s shallow waters make it a safe swimming spot even for kids in Moreton Island.
Blue Lagoon is a famous attraction in Moreton Island because of its unique beauty and tranquility. The untouched swimming haven is near Cowan Cowan and Bulwer. There are numerous ways to enjoy free time in and around the area and it would not take long to find a good hotel nearby. Set on a lovely, sandy beach, Tangalooma Island Resort gives guests a comfortable place to stay after a long day of swimming or sightseeing. Spacious rooms of the property are set on a garden, with access to both nature and ocean views. Two restaurants are in the premises and the Brisbane Airport is only 4o minutes away.
