Welcome to Spoonbill Lagoon!

Picture bright, twisting tubes in vibrant shades of pink, purple, yellow, green, and blue plunging into cool pools — short, gentle slides (no taller than about 10 feet) made just for younger children so everyone can join the excitement safely. These eye-popping slides are surrounded by an interactive water playground full of fountains, tipping buckets, sprays, and splash features that turn the whole area into a rainbow-colored wonderland of giggles and splashes.  The kids’ zone flows seamlessly into the bigger thrills: an amusement-park-style  winding lazy river perfect for family floats, a large main pool with a swim-up bar (hello, parent paradise!), sunning decks, cabanas, and plenty of shaded spots to relax. Tiki bar, food service, and a second-floor pavilion for parties round out the experience, making it easy to spend the whole day there without ever leaving the coastal vibe.

This expansive pool features a built-in tanning ledge for lounging in the Texas sun, zero-entry access for easy entry, and plenty of room to splash, float, and play. Lounge chairs and shaded cabanas line the deck, so parents can relax while kids burn off energy nearby.

But the real showstopper? The swim-up bar — a clever two-sided design that lets you order drinks and snacks without ever leaving the water. One side faces the family pool; the other opens directly into the winding lazy river. Grab a frozen margarita or cold beer, float over to the lazy river side, and drift along with the current — it’s pure parent paradise and the kind of upscale touch you’d expect at a high-end coastal resort.

Overlooking the entire scene is the second-floor (two-story) pavilion, a breezy, open-air space perfect for relaxing, birthday parties, family reunions, or just kicking back with a view. With seating areas, shade, and prime sightlines over the pools, lazy river, and kids’ splash zone, it’s the ultimate spot to gather while the little ones play below.

Tucked nearby is the thatched-roof tiki bar with multiple TVs for catching the game, plus a full food menu served from the entry building — think coastal favorites like fresh ceviche, burgers, and ice-cold drinks to keep the good times flowing all day.

Get ready to trade stress for slow, sunny floats — Spoonbill Lagoon’s lazy river is the ultimate chill zone in this brand-new 2-acre bayside waterpark at Spoonbill Bay.

Picture yourself lounging in an inner tube, gently carried along by a gentle current that goes along through lush landscaping, past palm trees, and around the park and up to the perfect swim up bar. The river is designed for all ages: toddlers can float with their parents and splash in the shallow sections, kids can race tubes with friends, and parents can kick back with zero effort required.

The highlight? The two-sided swim-up bar built right into the lazy river. Order a frozen margarita, ice-cold beer from the water — one side serves the big family pool, the other drops straight into the lazy river current. Float up, grab your drink, and keep drifting — it’s pure Texas Gulf Coast genius.

The lazy river ties everything together: see the colorful kids’ slides and splash playground, wave at friends in the main pool, or glide under the shade of the second-floor pavilion. Lounge chairs, cabanas, and shaded spots line the edges so you can hop out anytime for a snack from the tiki bar or just soak up the sun.

Located on the bayside of Highway 361 in Port Aransas (just  a minute from the beach and about 30 minutes from Corpus Christi), this winding waterway is the perfect mix of relaxation and excitement for families, friend groups, or date-day floats.

Spoonbill Lagoon opens mid-summer 2026 — mark your calendars for the laziest, happiest days on Mustang Island. Whether you live in one of the luxury low-country cottages at Spoonbill Bay or you’re visiting from one of the resorts in Port A, the lazy river is calling your name. 🌴🛟🍹💦
