Does Volcano Bay have a beach?

Water Theme Park at Universal Studios Orlando Pulse-pounding waterslides, 25-meter drops, winding rivers and serene beaches can all be found at Volcano Bay.



Yes, Universal’s Volcano Bay water theme park features a massive, man-made beach area known as Waturi Beach, which serves as the heart of the park. This sun-swept beach is located directly at the base of the 200-foot Krakatau volcano and surrounds a multi-directional wave pool that creates both crashing waves and gentle ripples. Waturi Beach is lined with hundreds of lounge chairs and swaying palm trees, offering a "South Seas" tropical island atmosphere in the middle of Orlando. For those seeking a more exclusive experience, the beach area also offers private cabanas and premium seating for rent, providing extra shade and amenities like a locker and waiter service. Whether you want to swim in the surf, sunbathe on the sand, or enjoy the stunning views of the waterfalls cascading down the volcano, Waturi Beach provides a relaxing "shoreline" experience that balances the high-intensity thrills of the park's many water coasters and slides.
