πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best suited for families with kids who can swim confidently in moving water - the waves are genuinely strong and create real excitement. All-day entry and the wristband re-entry system make it easy to take breaks and return. Weekday visits are far quieter than weekends. Bring your own inflatable ring for the best wave experience.

β€œIts very relaxing to enjoy the sun here while enjoying the splash of water in this pool. There is a basketball court and public restrooms. They have lockers and beautiful views of the cruiseship at a distant spot.”

β€œGreat fun. Never too old to be a child. Grab a tube and bounce up and down with the waves. They’re pretty strong actually. Multiple lifeguards. They have lockers but bathrooms to change outside. Drink and snack stand. Waves start every 15 after and 15 till to give those a break to get in and out and just float or swim without the ups and downs.”

β€œExcellent place to visit with a very cheap admission price. Wave pool is great. Has a nice kiosk so food and drinks well catered for. The admission is only $8 for all day use. You get a wrist tag which allows you to come and go at will”
