The dangerous Pacific surf is about 300 ft/91.4 m away, so it is rather safe to swim. The water in the Lagoon is slightly brackish. Lots of plants and animals are inhabitants of the Lagoon. Pelicans come in summer to bathe and some wading shore birds are living on the side of the sand bar.

The rugged northeast coast is covered by old-growth redwood and Sitka spruce forest. On south shore, water along the lagoon is shallow and the banks are densely wooded and overgrown. Big Lagoon is perfect for sailing, especially in summer. Just make sure to take care of your safety and also to protect this unique place.
