Vaga Splash - Parque Aquático, Water park in Gafanha da Boa Hora, Portugal.
Vaga Splash is a water and theme park with multiple swimming pools, water slides, sports facilities, and open grass areas near the Atlantic coast. The layout offers a mix of organized swimming areas and spacious zones for relaxing or playing.
The park was founded in 1990 as a recreational destination for local residents and summer visitors to northern Portugal. Its development reflected growing interest in organized beach leisure in the region.
The park reflects how Portuguese people enjoy coastal recreation, with areas where visitors can move between saltwater pools and the nearby Atlantic. You see people of all ages using the space to mix organized swimming with access to nature.
The park has large separate areas for different activities, so you can easily move between water, sports, and grass zones. Bring sun protection and expect it to get busy on warm days, especially around midday.
Wooden walkways connect the park directly to the beach, allowing visitors to move easily between pool swimming and ocean swimming. This direct link is less common than you might expect for parks this size.
