The Mississippi Gulf Coast is home to Buccaneer Bay, a 4.5-acre water park located across from the Gulf of Mexico. Buccaneer Bay has Pirate’s Lagoon, a wave pool featuring six-foot waves and eight different surf patterns. Up for more adventure? Climb the tower and careen down Pirate's Plank, an enclosed water slide built for speed, or Pirate’s Plunge, a twisting, turning body slide.
We are excited to announce two new exciting amenities that are sure to make your next visit even more memorable! Splash Island, Buccaneer Bay's newest addition, features three waterslides, 26 interactive spray features, and two giant tipping buckets! That's not all - overlooking Splash Island are six luxurious cabanas that are available for rent. Watch the kids play as you relax and unwind in your own shaded piece of paradise.
Back again this summer are the iconic Pirate's Lagoon Wave Pool, Pirate's Plunge and Pirate's Plank Waterslides, and Lil Smuggler's Cove.
Lil’ Smuggler’s Cove offers a children’s water playground complete with sprays and tipping buckets. Treasure Island is a giant sun deck and lounge area that seems to be a perfect spot to relax and catch some rays.
Buccaneer Bay is a prime spot for birthday parties and special occasions, with Crow's Nest pavilion available for rent.
Overlooking the gulf is the park’s campground, home to Castaway Cove, a smaller, circular pool that features waterfalls.
