A little further inside the
lagoon entrance, several boulder formations
form large
swim - throughs and, when the tide is running in or out of the
lagoon, grey reef sharks gather on the boulder surfaces to hunt for food in the current.
Just 200 metres from the resort is the cosmopolitan village of Airlie Beach popular for restaurants, night life, shopping and the new free -
form salt water
swimming lagoon which is surrounded by parkland.
