We had no wait and no trouble finding parking or seating,  even two hours after they opened in the middle of summer! They have several slides and kiddie pools. It's very family oriented! I highly recommend making this a part of your vacation if you're looking for something fun to do with the kiddos.  They have a snack bar, and there is also a lemonade stand and hotdogs.  That makes it so much easier to stay all day. The staff was super helpful also.

I bring my daughter every summer, she loves it! This year, they offer more seating and shade around the slides, which is awesome. 😎 In addition, they now have fresh squeezed lemonade and ice cream to buy out on the patio.🍦 Lifeguards are also usually friendly.

Fantastic place to hold a kids bday party! They make it so easy and it’s a great price! No advance deposit required, you get your own cabana, and they allow you to bring in outside food and drinks which is a major plus. Staff are so welcoming and nice- we all had a great time and kids are officially worn out.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Salty Pirate Waterpark – Emerald Isle, NC I recently visited Salty Pirate Waterpark with my friend Tara and her children, and we had an absolutely wonderful time! The weather was beautiful, the atmosphere was cheerful, and the entire experience was full of fun and laughter. The park is well-kept, family-friendly, and has something for everyone—whether you’re racing down slides, floating in the lazy river, or just enjoying the sunshine. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made the day even more enjoyable. It’s the perfect spot for families to cool off, make memories, and spend a summer day together. Tara’s kids had a blast, and so did we! We’ll definitely be coming back.
