No beaches. Are you kidding? The water is 40 degrees.
But yes, they do heat the pool water and close the "dome" to create an indoor pool area. Otherwise you still need a suit if you plan on using the spa's or jacuzzis.
You CAN do snorkeling in Alaska, but they put you in a full body wetsuit to do it. My daughter and her cousins went and they had a blast.
