Sandy Beach allows the guest to walk barefoot along the glistening, tiding waters. They can also relax, tan themselves, and drink iced tea while sitting in a comfortable beach chair.

A slower-paced version of the Family Raft, the Lazy River allows the guest to take a dip in the pool or ride the tube that will take you around the theme park with its slow current.
For Children
- Kids Adventure
Kids Adventure is the perfect place for kids to gather and play. It has a charming and safe water playground, mini slides, and water sprays.
But, of course, parents have to watch their kids as they play to keep them safe and happy in the playground.
