Shipwreck Island Water Park

Shipwreck Island is a water park in Panama City Beach spread across roughly 15 acres with multiple water slides, wave pools, and a lazy river surrounded by tropical landscaping. The facility is divided into different sections offering various activities and attractions for visitors of all sizes.

The park was established in 1983 and grew from a simple attraction into a major entertainment center for the region. Over the following decades, it continuously expanded and renewed its attractions to keep pace with growing interest in water park experiences.

The park uses maritime themes throughout its design, with a central pirate ship representing the region's connection to seafaring traditions. Visitors notice decorative touches and naming elements everywhere that reference classic pirate and sailing stories.

The facility is easiest to visit during warmer months, and arriving early helps avoid long waits at attractions. Good footwear and sun protection are essential since you walk a lot on hot concrete and spend time in direct sunlight.

The Tree Top Drop slide offers a nearly vertical plunge from about 60 feet (18 meters), creating a free-fall sensation before splashing into the pool. This slide captivates visitors who seek fast and intense experiences and often becomes the most memorable part of their visit.
