SLIDE DOWN TO BUCCANEER BAY

The Mermaids are not the only reason to visit Weeki Wachee Springs. In the summer months, Florida’s only spring-fed water park offers overheated park visitors welcome relief.

“Everyone loves Buccaneer Bay,” says Director of Marketing John Athanason. “That’s a huge draw for the park.”

This classic aquatic playground is safe and fun for pirates of all ages. Soak in the crystalline 72 degree water or bask in the sun on the white sand beach. Cool off with a cold one at the Tiki Bar or rent a tube for an easy ride down the lazy river. Turn the kids or grandkids loose to brave the corkscrewing water slides.

Even the smallest swabbies have their own special place in Buccaneer Bay. Lil’ Mates Caribbean Cove is a place for them to beat the heat that’s just their size.

Rather play on top of the water?

Weeki Wachee offers canoe and kayak rentals that allow you to explore further into the park and experience the grandeur of Florida in a pristine natural setting.
