The Pirates Island Water Park provides guests with a splash-tastic vacation experience. The Water Park sits on an expansive 27,000 sq ft. area. There are six kiddie slides, allowing for Beaches youngest guests to slip n’ slide their way into a memorable Caribbean vacation. A treasure trove of wet and wild fun, the Water Park also includes a Treasure Isle Aqua-Play area, complete with water cannons and a treasure chest. For the resort’s tiniest Water Park enthusiast, Pirates Island unveils a kid’s zone and zero-entry kiddie pool complete with a misting crab, a squirting sea turtle, and a splashing seahorse. For the not-so-young but young at heart, the Water Park features a tube slide, a body slide, and a speed slide, all perfect for a day of coolin’ down beneath the Caribbean sun. The Water Park also has a Water Crawl Cargo Net Aqua-Play Structure, complete with sea creature-themed stepping-stones including a starfish, an oyster shell, and a nautilus shell, made from soft-play resilient foam.
Watersports available include kayaks, windsurfing, paddleboards, snorkeling, banana boat rides, scuba diving, glass-bottom boats, aqua-trikes, and more! There is also a fun bubble-maker program available for children 8 years and older. This program introduces scuba in a pool setting through fun games and activities.
Families can join the Sesame Street characters at an exclusive breakfast with Zoe, Cookie Monster, Super Grover 2.0, Bert and Ernie, Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Oscar the Grouch, and Big Bird. There are also private character birthday parties and a “nightly tuck-in” available.
