Trained lifeguards will be at the large saltwater lagoon. Aside from swimming, the Lagoon features a large san area for sunbathing, children's play equipment, snack bar from Ruby's Restaurant and volleyball. A grassed area and luau shelter are also available for day and evening events.

Water for the seaside lagoon comes from the other side of the breakwater, at about 50 feet deep, and travels to the nearby steam generating plant where they use it to cool the turbines. The water then travels under the street in large pipes to the Seaside Lagoon where it is chlorinated when entering the lagoon and de-chlorinated when leaving the lagoon back into the harbor. The Seaside Lagoon has approximately 1.5 million gallons of water and has a flow-through rate of approximately 200,000 gallons per hour.
