Big Lagoon is an example of what was once a land-locked saline lake that is now a shallow inland bay. Rising sea-levels in recent geological times inundated the small lake system creating this attractive turquoise lagoon. An important fish nursery, Big Lagoon’s northern waters are a sanctuary zone where fishing is prohibited. Exploring the lagoon by canoe or sea-kayak is a great way to get up close and personal to this natural gem. For another perspective take a scenic flight and the lagoon’s true grandeur will be revealed.

A small campground with gas BBQs and toilets is located at the lagoon and there is a site for launching boats nearby. Camping fees apply.
