South Bay Shores

South Bay Shores is a water park in Santa Clara featuring multiple water slides, two pools, a lazy river, and play zones across 11 acres within California's Great America. The facility offers different sections designed for various activities and age groups.

The park began in 2004 as Crocodile Dundee's Boomerang Bay and was the first water park integrated within a Northern California amusement complex. A major expansion came in 2021 with new attractions and updated features.

The park attracts families and friends seeking water recreation in a casual setting where people gather to spend time together. You notice visitors of all ages enjoying the different zones at their own pace throughout the day.

Visitors can rent lockers and cabanas while lifeguards monitor all water zones and food options are available throughout the location. Planning your visit to explore different areas at various times during the day helps you experience everything comfortably.

Breakers Bay is a wave pool generating ocean-style waves in different patterns, offering visitors a beach-like experience far inland. This type of wave technology creates a distinctly different experience from traditional swimming areas.
