Buccaneer Bay Waterpark is the aquatic centerpiece of Buccaneer State Park in Waveland, Mississippi, set among moss-draped oaks along the Gulf Coast. The 4.5-acre waterpark features a dramatic wave pool capable of generating up to eight different wave patterns including body-surfing swells, a 5,000-square-foot Splash Island pool with three waterslides and giant tipping buckets, the fully enclosed 375-foot Pirate's Plank slide, the twisting 425-foot Pirate's Plunge body slide, and Lil Smuggler's Cove, a water playground for younger guests. The Sea Dog Galley concession stand and a 10,000-square-foot sun deck with ample lounge space complete the experience. The broader state park surrounding the waterpark offers 206 premium campsites, a nature trail, and a disc golf course for a full outdoor destination experience.
