This include Buccaneer Beach and Crocodile Cal’s Caribbean Beach House. You can also take a dip in the Hurricane Bay wave pool! Of course you may be looking to go down a few water slides. If you have never gone down a water slide before, then start off with the Bamboo Chutes. The Bamboo Chutes are smaller water slides.

If you get hungry during the day, there are plenty of places to get something to eat in the park. If you are looking to get a meal, you can check out Beachside Burgers, Coronado’s Subway.
